According to an informed rumor report on DCRTV, WJFK/106.7 radio will transition from hot talk to sports talk on July 20, marking the last of the major CBS Radio hot talk stations to switch formats.
The rumored lineup for a sports talk WJFK maintains The Junkies (to be redubbed as Sports Junkies again) for mornings, Washington Post writer Mike Wise middays and current co-host Chad Dukes teamed with new co-host Lavar Arrington for afternoons. Left unmentioned is the fate of WJFK mainstay Mike O'Meara who has fronted his own show since ex-partner Don Geronimo left the national airwaves.
Obviously, this blog fully supports the idea of WJFK switching to sports talk. As ex/WTEM host Brian Mitchell's comments about his former employer clearly demonstrate, there is a need for an independent sports radio voice in the Washington, D.C. market. WJFK is best situated to fill that need.
