October 16, 200520 yr comment_170078 Here is the scenerio: I'm watching the USC@Notre Dame game on tv, but I have to leave for work halfway through the fourth quarter. I get in my car and turn on the radio. I turned to 1360AM, the self proclaimed "sports animal" of radio stations in Cincinnati. (actually I think they are the only one) A NASCAR race is on the radio. In my opinion the only thing worse than watching NASCAR on TV, is having to listen to it on the radio. But thats not my point. My point is how can any sports radio station in its right mind chooses to air a NASCAR event over one of the biggest college football games of the year? I also noticed last week that the same radio station was broadcasting a NASCAR event instead of the deciding game in the A.L.DS. How can NASCAR be more important than game 5 of the A.L.D.S.? (and I'm not even a big baseball fan) I respect the fact that NASCAR has a big fan base and is becoming popular, but dammit are you kidding me? Anyway, I missed the ending of the game, (I am thankful USC won ) because Cincinnati is a lame ass sports town. I bet there wouldnt be NASCAR on the radio in NY, Philly, Chicago, Cleveland. At least in those cities a NASCAR race wouldnt supercede a "real sport" . Thank God for the Bengals, because if Cincinnati did not have an NFL team it would be the Reds and NASCAR everywhere and all the time. Report

ESPN radio has exclusive rights to the baseball playoffs (1450 AM). And the notre dame/ USC game was on another channel like 1160 cause i listened to it in the car on the way to dinner. 1360 is not just a local station, most of the programmin is syndicated radio. On the weekends most of the stuff if controlled by fox radio not 1360 itself. Report
