Riley isn't going anywhere, since he manages the station and is the boss.

I miss Hot Rod and Bill Marcroft tremendously. Yes Hot Rod was occasionally "out of it" and yes Marcroft stumbled quite a bit "Check it!", but they made the games so fun.
I'm with you on Riley's play by play. I have no idea what's going on 70% of the time, until Soto explains it after the fact.
I haven't had to rely on listening to a game until got a long time until one game earlier this year. It was hard to listen to (for different reasons than Wrubbel or Locke). Those we of us who grew up listening to radio play by play for the majority of away games in the 70's and 80's expect a better description of the action.

I listen to a lot of Utah football games on the radio (unless it is a night game, i got stuff to do during the day). I don't mind Bill at all. He doesn't come off as a blatant homer like some other teams radio guys in our state. I really like Frank Dolce. He cracks me up.

LOL. Is there anything funnier than trolling BYU fans?
She doesn't. She's only been in Utah for ~ six months, if I'm remembering right. But obviously already picked up on the poorly kept local secret of how to start a conversation.

100% this. She is just fishing for clicks.
She's a Bama grad. She can't help being a bit behind. Tuscaloosa makes Provo look like Paris.

The current espn 700 lineup is my favorite that theyve had. Swinney has surprised me. My only complaint is the RSL talk.....but even then, its funny to hear oc and swinney try to get theough a soccer interview.
Given who owns the station you're stuck with the soccer

The Riley show is content-rich. I like it a lot. O'Connell and Swinney have too much banter for me. Lots of chit-chat about things important only to them.

That is HUUUUGE news. I am happy to see it happen. The state is better served by having multiple sources for news.
Also it is great that it is a local family who is invested in the community instead of a bottom-line toting hedge fund.

I've noticed that Scott Mitchell is on ESPN 700 frequently now. He's pretty good at radio. I wonder if he is trying to get into it long term? I've heard lots of rumors about him wanting to coach, but he's probably set for life, income-wise, so I don't know why he would subject himself to that grind.

Everyone knows that you have to back up some pretty great NFL quarterbacks to be able to hack a D1 coaching gig.

1320 KFAN has let Tim Lewis go. He was the morning host. He had started in february.
I can honestly say that I never tuned in. He made some noise on his first day on twitter by saying that BYU had better football facilities and that Utah needed to upgrade to compete. Those who listened all seemed to think he was really doing a show in 2000 and had somehow stumbled into a time machine.
I followed him on twitter for a couple of days, and he was very off putting. Anyone who disagreed with him was told to "calm down"or "relax". Not even good at trolling........
Apparently, KFAN is going to just run the CBS national show in that slot now. As long as DJ and PK are on one station, and Mike and Mike/Dan Patrick are on another, there really isn't much hope for a third morning show.
I wonder if KFAN is starting to accept that they really dont have a shot to climb out of third.
I really like the two inmates that were running the assylum between monty and tim. They didn't have any insider sports knowledge but they made me laugh. Especially the kid that talked about Kaysville and davis high all the time. I thought they were a hoot.

I was confused as to why they didn't stick with that duo. I liked them as well.
PK is unlistenable radio. I get the schtick, he had rare moments of being truly funny, but I hate to even call him a poor man's Colin Cowherd because I actually like Cowherd.
Sometimes guys like that are an acquired taste so I've really tried hard and can't get there. And it isn't because I am offended as a Ute fan or anything else. My finger just twitches and I have to change the channel when he starts doing the obnoxious talk thing.

DJ and PK were hands down the worst substitute hosts ever on the Jim Rome show. I pitied fans of STR in SLC after listening to them.
I never listened when they were guest hosts, but i inagine it was awful. Their whole thing is playing point-counterpoint on the jazz and trying to start a daily byu utah troll fest. Cant imagine it works with national topics.
I think rome just gave them the chance since dj gave him his first job in the business.
Weren't DJ and Jim Rome roommates in college or something like that?
that very well could be true; they were both communicaitons majors at UC Santa Barbara at the same time, likely the same class (1987 or 88)
I don't know if they were roommates but they were definitely buddies.
