Favorite Phoenix sports talk host

[jw7]

I'll second the Femino vote - he was the best, especially when Shoeny or Snapper came on.

Right now I'll go with Jurecki/Lewis, since they always talk NFL, then Bob Kemp second.

 

[Espo]

Didn't Tony Famino with Gatos and Shonny on 860?

i think you are right but i think Famino may have started on 1360 before 860 was around. Does anyone remember?

 

[Espo]

And Larry "What a joke" Gaydos...and Schoney, RIP. I used to call/fax that show all the time.

And Paul Calvisi and Vic Lombardi, the Wiseguys in the mornings.

I forgot about Calvisi and Lombardi. That show was solid also.

I forgot about Calvisi and Lombardi. That show was solid also.

I remember that show too. solid show.

Ron Wolfley had a show on 860 that was great. Can't remember the name of his co-host, he's at 620 now.

Jurecki and Lewis are my favorites now, even Lew's Reviews, he has golf specials on that show. Kemp and Andean are good too.

Dave Burns. He has a nightly show on 620 when baseball isn't on.

Tony "the Giver" Femino was the absolute best

Bob Kemp is really good

Gambo and Ash are tough to take because Gambo has some sort of personal problem with Michael Bidwill -- dont know what it is, but his personal dislike for Michael means all Cardinal talk has a negative tone to it.

Roy Garibaldi is absolutely unlistenable

 

[Espo]

Kevin Ray was his partner wasnt it.

I like Roc & Wolf on Sat AM on KMVP.Great show!

Still on 860.....I like his work.

 

[Stronso]

I used to love Arnie Spanger when he was on the radio in Phoenix. Anytime I can catch his national show I do. The guy cracks me up.

My favorite guys in Phoenix now is Bob Kemp and MJ.

Nope

 

[maddogkf]

Remember when 1360 started, it was originially like KNNS on 1230 AM, the Sports Nuts Show was on in the AM before Spanier?

I forgot those guys names, but they cracked me up!!!

What ever happened to the Flatulant Sports Pig?

She was horrible!!!

 

[jw7]

Roy Garibaldi is absolutely unlistenable

I agree. Except sometimes when Barkley is on - he's fun to listen to.

I can't believe "The positive side of sleep" gets any ratings whatsoever.

What ever happened to the Flatulant Sports Pig?

She was horrible!!!

Methinks a giant Farley-esque heart attack. Funny thing is that going to NAU from 1996-1997, this was the only sportsradio show I could get during the day, so I listened to her all the time. Pretty gross that she was my first "real" sports radio experience.

As for here in PHX, I really like Gambo and Ash for baseball and 1060 for Cards talk. The offerings are much better than what I had in Tucson.

A-Bomb

Wolfley's Saturday show on ESPN is:

Wolfley's prob. my favorite, he knows his football, and is entertaining.

Gambo and Ash, for some reason both just grate me when they talk by themselves. Now, when they have a guest on, I've heard them both sound intelligent and well researched. But when it's just the two of them yapping, it's like finger nails on a chalkboard to me.

I try catch Ghirbaldi's show every time Matt Williams is on Tuesday afternoons, but it's like one long advertisement. Running ads is one thing, but when you plug it into the show, all show long "I gave him a call on my AT&T wireless phone" it's painful. His show minus Matt Williams is unbearable.

Bickley - I may not agree with him all the time, but he's always got a take he can back up, and he makes you think. That's the mark of a good columnist, whether or not you agree with him or not, at the end of the take/column, you think about it. I flip back and forth in the mornings between him and Cowherd on ESPN, whom I like better. Much better than Kornheiser was anyway. CC's prob. my favorite, but he's not local.

Local host, the winner'd have to be Mr. Ron Wolfley.

 

[NickelBack]

I like Roc & Wolf on Sat AM on KMVP.Great show!

Agreed!

 

[NJYAJ09]

Best Hosts:

Bob Kemp (The Best)
Kevin Wheeler (Bob Kemp Jr.)
Mike Jurecki, Lew (best midday show in AZ)
Jim Rome (the original)\
Chris Russell (late night weekend show... same vein as Kemp and Wheeler)
Arnie Spanier (somewhat. when he rants too much he gets annoying)
Don DeBaca, Dale Hellastre (quality good morning show)
Rick Ballou (also good)
Dan Bickley (good, i just dont really like his show)



Thats really the only guys I like. My general station is 1060, but i usually switch over to 910 when Romey is on. I religiously listen to Bob Kemp, Kevin Wheeler, and usually FTB. I listen to the Opening Drive in the morning for only like 30 minutes theyre good.

Worst:

Any shows about golf
Any shows about nature crap
Bill Lekas (WORST!!!! comes right after K.Wheeler and he makes me fall asleep)
Gambo & Ash (damn i hate them)
Chet Coppock (man, you bore me)

 

[Brandon_Webb]

I love the Jungle, my favorite radio show. Jim is so funny. Him along with the emails and whacky stories, I love it!

 

[Bobcat]

I used to love listening to Jeff Kennedy a few years back. As for right now, Lew and Mike are probably the most fun to listen to because they talk Cardinals more than anyone else.

Mike sucks and you know why!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And so does Lew!!!!!!! One big ooph!!!!!!

Bobcat!!!!!!!!
