KFNS, 1380 to drop all-sports format

Chob · 03-09-2013, 05:44 PM

All-sports radio on the AM dial, which has been an uninterrupted fixture in the St. Louis media landscape since April 1993, apparently will barely reach its 20th anniversary. Grand Slam Sports, which owns the two AM stations broadcasting in the format – KFNS (590) and KXFN (1380) – plans to switch their formats.

“The morning and afternoon shows will be entertaining guy talk,” said Marshall, adding that listeners can “tune into Howard Stern on Monday morning (on Sirius XM satellite radio) to get our first big announcement. The person who is coming (to morning drive) will announce it there.”

That is expected to be Bubba The Love Sponge (whose given name is Todd Alan Clem), a Stern protégé who conducts a racy syndicated show that could bump McKernan and company. McKernan’s show is the property of insideSTL Enterprises LLC, not Grand Slam. McKernan owns insideSTL and is not sitting idly.

Grand Slam Sports will debut a pair of new Talk formats on its pair of Sports stations in St. Louis. “590 The Fan” KFNS and “1380 The Fan 2” KXFN will become “590 The Man” and “1380 The Woman” respectively. Dan Caesar of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the changes will take place around May 1.

On behalf of @tmastl, we welcome Bubba The Love Sponge to St. Louis and wish him and the new management at KFNS the best of luck. — Tim McKernan (@tmckernan) March 8, 2013

Someone should tell them there's a great night show on in Tampa they might want.

St. Louis doesn't like ANYTHING that's not FROM St. Louis.
