The Demise of Sports Radio…From the Inside

March 22, 2008 | by Keith | Categories Sports Radio |

I apologize in advance for the local nature of this story, but I think it provides a good look into the inner workings of one sports media organization.

Earlier this month I wrote about the end of one of the sports radio stations in Providence. It is a David vs. Goliath story where Goliath wins out in the end. One of their personalities, Scott Cordischi, took time yesterday to detail his views as to why WSKO “The Score” ultimately failed.

Sports fans in Providence will appreciate the behind-the-scenes details. The rest of you will hopefully gain some insight into the ever changing world of how radio stations are run.  As Scott points out it’s no longer driven by radio people or community interest but solely by the bottom line.  Too bad.

    I love my AM sports radio; unlike TV, I’m able to do many things around the house while still listening to it, rather than being chained to a chair. Thanks for sharing the story, I got a lot out of it.
