    Yeah, I am wonder if any of them will switch, or will 97.1 go to more of the national CBS broadcasts?

    AM1270 already ditching talk, going back to sports:
    The network will offer a full lineup debuting on JANUARY 2, 2013. Affiliates will also have the opportunity to pick from some programs offered on a regional basis from CBS or CUMULUS Sports stations. Hourly CBS SPORTS update reports will launch on SEPTEMBER 4, 2012.

    CBS Sports stations WFAN-A/NEW YORK, WSCR-A (670 THE SCORE)/CHICAGO, KRLD-F (105.3 THE FAN)/DALLAS, KILT-A (SPORTS RADIO 610)/HOUSTON, WJFK (106.7 THE FAN)/WASHINGTON, WIP-F/PHILADELPHIA, WBZ-F (98.5 THE SPORTS HUB)/BOSTON, WXYT-F (97.1 THE TICKET)/DETROIT, WSJT (98.7 THE FAN)/TAMPA, WJZ-F (105.7 THE FAN)/BALTIMORE, WFNZ-A/CHARLOTTE, KDKA-F (93.7 THE FAN)/PITTSBURGH, KHTK-A (1140 THE FAN)/SACRAMENTO, and WKRK (92.3 THE FAN)/CLEVELAND will pick up elements of the network; KIKK-A/HOUSTON (flipping from Talk), WIP-A/PHILADELPHIA (splitting from the mostly-simulcast lineup of the FM), WXYT-A/DETROIT (flipping from Talk), WQYK-A/TAMPA (breaking the previously-announced simulcast with its FM sister), WJZ-A/BALTIMORE (dropping ESPN RADIO), WBCN-A/CHARLOTTE (dropping Talk), KRAK-A/HESPERIA-VICTORVILLE (also dropping ESPN), and KYDZ-A (dropping a locally-programmed Children's format) will carry the network 24/7.

    Among the CUMULUS stations adding CBS SPORTS RADIO programming will be KNBR-A and KTCT-A/SAN FRANCISCO, KTCK-A (THE TICKET)/DALLAS, WCNN-A (680 THE FAN)/ATLANTA, WGFX (104.5 THE ZONE)/NASHVILLE, and several more.

    CBS bought 101.9fm in New York City today and immediately started simulcasting WFAN. Speculation is the Fan will move to FM perm, and CBS Sportsradio will be place on 660am.

    25 years old this year and many big names in sports talk got their start their. Good for them as FM sports talk seems to be the new wave. Down here in Miami 790 the Ticket is now on FM as well.
