Video killed the radio star

Another rough day that won't be eased at all by ESPN radio.

For awhile, South Jersey was a sports talk radio mecca. You could get the Fan from New York, WIP in Philly, newcomer 950 and ESPN on 920. During the season, you'd have unfettered access to the Phils, Mets and the Empire as well as Sox games through a Connecticut station that would reach Philly on clear nights.

But this week, there was a jar when I tuned in ESPN 920. Instead of Mike & Mike, there was some slowly-paced, monotoned preacher droning on. I thought it might be a steroid spoof on righteousness or something, but there was no punch line. Christine found this story.

What a crock, why doesn't Philly deserve its own ESPN? Oh well, heading to North Jersey today, I'll tune into ESPN 1050. Happy radioing.
