BSM StaffFox Sports Radio has added two new evening shows to replace Steve Gorman Sports and JT the Brick. Both of those shows parted ways with the network last week.
The first new show is Straight Outta Vegas hosted by RJ Bell. The hour long show will air every weeknight starting at 6pm Eastern. The show has spent the past year as a twice-weekly program offered as part of FSR’s weekend lineup.
Bell is the founder and CEO of Pregame.com. His show is the first nationally syndicated sports gambling-focused show offered to terrestrial radio. The move to weeknights puts Straight Outta Vegas in a “pregame” sort of slot for all East Coast games. FSR’s Jonas Knox will be pert of the cast, as will betting experts Brad Powers and Steve Fezzik.
Another weekend show is also moving into Fox Sports Radio’s 7pm ET timeslot. The Odd Couple featuring Chris Broussard and Rob Parker debuted as a Sunday show back in March. It will move to weeknights starting on September 17. Parker and Broussard have been seen on a number of Fox Sports 1 programs since joining the company.
“This historic new lineup further solidifies FOX Sports Radio’s standing as the preeminent sports network in the nation,” said Don Martin, SVP Sports Programming for Premiere Networks, and Scott Shapiro, VP of Sports Programming for Premiere Networks, in a joint statement. “It’s now crystal clear that when you’re looking for the best, live sports-talk, this is the place to tune in. Listeners who want to be entertained, informed, and emotionally invested with the most-compelling personalities and storytellers in the industry will be rewarded with every listening occasion.”
The new lineup includes an additional hour for Jason Smith and Mike Harmon. Their show now begins at 10pm ET. The new weekday lineup for Fox Sports Radio is as follows:
6am-9am Outkick The Coverage with Clay Travis
9am-12pm The Dan Patrick Show
12pm-3pm The Herd with Colin Cowherd
12pm-3pm The Rich Eisen Show
3pm-6pm The Doug Gottlieb Show
6pm-7pm Straight Outta Vegas with RJ Bell
7pm-10pm The Odd Couple with Chris Broussard & Rob Parker
10pm-2am The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon
2am-6am The Ben Maller Show

BSM StaffAs the Los Angeles Dodgers get set to take on the St. Louis Cardinals in their first home game on Thursday, team play-by-play voice Charley Steiner has revealed he will not be doing games at the beginning of the season due to a severe back injury.
Through the Dodgers, Steiner posted a statement which said, “Over the winter, I landed on the Injured List with three compound fractures in my back. (I don’t recommend it.) With the start of the baseball season upon us, the Dodgers are ready to go – but I’m not. This will be the first Opening Day that I will have missed since 1976, when I wore a younger man’s clothes. I look forward to returning to the mic later this season. In the meantime, go Dodgers!”
TrueBlueLA.com reports Tim Neverett will handle play-by-play duties while Steiner recovers. Neverett called the first two regular season games with Rick Monday as the Dodgers started the season in South Korea. Neverett and Monday did not travel with the team, however, they called those games in a studio back home.

BSM StaffAfter nearly 10 years, The Ronnie & TKras Show with Ronnie Lane and Tom Krasniqi came to an end today as the duo broadcast their final show on remote with many listeners, friends and co-workers on hand. Earlier this month, WDAE announced changes to its programming lineup which will take place starting tomorrow. Ronnie Lane will take on a new role as host of the Tampa Bay Rays pre-game show The Inside Pitch. Tom Krasniqi will continue on in afternoon drive with producer Chris Mathis for The Drive.
Their final show kicked off with station voice Jim Cutler saying, “…Finally, Tampa Bay can sleep easy knowing this hideous show is finally over.”
And with that went three very fast hours of looking back on a nearly decade-long run for Lane and Krasniqi. “It seems kind of surreal, doesn’t it?” said Lane.
Mathis had several special guests lined up for the final show and many others left voice messages which were played coming out of breaks. Tampa Bay Buccaneers General Manager Jason Licht and Chief Operating Officer Brian Ford took part in the final show. Tampa Bay Rays closer Pete Fairbanks also called in and, at first, identified himself as “Pete from St. Louis” before asking what the hosts thought of the Rays bullpen.
“I’m telling you man, when I hear all of these tributes it really brings a tear to my eye, Ronnie,” said Krasniqi. “It’s a surreal moment…It makes me feel so fortunate and blessed to be in this position sitting next to you all these years. This is one of those moments where I am almost speechless and just so incredibly overwhelmed by the support and the love that everyone has shown here today.”
Lane responded, “…Our time together is really coming to an end. I might get a little emotional before this show is over, but we have had a great time and been through many ups and downs…This business is crazy and for us to be able to do what we are doing and doing it on our terms…And for a company that believes in both of us to give us this opportunity to go in different directions with the same company is truly amazing…It doesn’t happen like this always in this business, usually it’s an ugly goodbye.”
As the show came to an end, Lane reminded everyone, “It has been a blast, but we’re not freakin’ leaving!”
“We’re not leaving folks,” ‘TKras’ said. “Thanks very much for being a part of our lives and thanks for having us as part of yours. Onward and upward. You are dismissed.”
