A friend of mine who is PD from a Texas radio station reports that Sporting News Radio is really having financial struggles. The main problem is, they don't have the affiliate base to bring in revenues. Big possibility that they may end up folding in the near future.
Personally, I think it would make sense for Sporting News Radio to merge with Fox Sports Radio, since they seem to have the affiliation going with their respected, websites.
But I'd be more interested in knowing what WSCR would use for overnight programming if SNR actually does fold. They could go back to FSR, but WJOL-AM in Joliet is using it for their overnight programming (dunno if that matters or not)... and the other choice is Sports Overnight America from the Sports Byline network.
I foresee relatively inexpensive talent for local overnights... Now if Supes can find a way to sell the time for paid programming, then we might have something...
