Rumors swirl about 93.7
January 15, 2010
The message boards have been swirling with rumors and Radio Insight reports that CBS Radio may be looking to add its All-Sports format here in Pittsburgh. Lance Venta notes that several domains – including 937thefan.com, Thefan937.com, TheFanofPittsburgh.com, 937thefanPGH.com, TheFanPGH.com and TheFanofPGH.com – have been registered within the last few weeks. He also notes that Clear Channel has the Play-By-Play rights to University of Pittsburgh, the Penguins and the Pirates. But it’s possible that the Steelers are still open after the previous deal expired in 2005.
So will the aspects of B-94 (the second wave) be mixed in with Star 100.7, WZPT? That remains to be seen. Incidentally, our initial “little bird” had heard that WZPT would be blown up with those aspects being stirred into B-94.
(AFTERNOON UPDATE – 1/15 4:51p.m.) – Bob Smizik’s blog says the possible new format could have a role for former WTAE-TV (4) sports anchor Jon Burton.
