Two Shows Move From Weekends To Weeknights At Fox Sports Radio

Schedule Changes

Answering the question raised about what would fill the gaps when STEVE GORMAN and JT “THE BRICK” exited the network a week ago FRIDAY (NET NEWS 9/11), PREMIERE NETWORKS’ FOX SPORTS RADIO has moved two weekend shows to weekday slots.

Beginning TODAY (9/17), “STRAIGHT OUTTA VEGAS WITH RJ BELL” moves from FRIDAY and SATURDAY evenings into the weekdays 6-7p (ET) slot, bringing the LAS VEGAS sports betting expert and PREGAME.COM founder, along with co-host JONAS KNOX and betting experts BRAD POWERS and STEVE FEZZIK, to a regular weekday position, while “THE ODD COUPLE WITH CHRIS BROUSSARD AND ROB PARKER” moves from SUNDAYS to weeknights 7-10p (ET).  The late night “JASON SMITH SHOW WITH MIKE HARMON” has added an hour to run 10p-2a weeknights.

“Sports betting is quintessentially American, and LAS VEGAS odds literally create the framework for much of sports talk,” said BELL in a press release. “FOX SPORTS RADIO’s understanding of this reality has been nothing less than visionary, and their commitment to STRAIGHT OUTTA VEGAS made my decision an easy one. This is the pregame show AMERICA has always wanted, airing on hundreds of FSR stations from coast to coast.  The promise of the show is simple: bettors can’t afford not to listen, and all sports fans will learn things others are missing.”

“ROB has been a great friend and respected colleague for several years,” said BROUSSARD. “Despite his tremendous journalistic record, his takes are often zany and off-the-wall, providing the perfect counter to my sound and logical reasoning. Opposites do indeed attract. This is going to be fun.”

“I'm excited and thrilled to team up with CHRIS five days a week,” said PARKER. “He's smart, funny and loves sports like I do. His opinions are half-baked. That's why I'm here. It will be fun and informative.”

“This historic new lineup further solidifies FOX SPORTS RADIO’s standing as the preeminent sports network in the nation,” a quote attributed to both PREMIERE SVP/Sports Programming DON MARTIN and VP/Sports Programming SCOTT SHAPIRO said in the release.  “It’s now crystal clear that when you’re looking for the best, live sports-talk, this is the place to tune in.  Listeners who want to be entertained, informed, and emotionally invested with the most-compelling personalities and storytellers in the industry will be rewarded with every listening occasion.”
