What did they replace them with? Something local, or is it some kind of syndicated show? Boy, I tell ya, that was Randy's second time in the last decade to try and go up against Sport Talk...that is one tough nut to crack. About the only way you can crack the nut would to steal the show away from 102.3 Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier --Colin Powell

I sometimes listened while driving home from work . Liked the idea that they supported the Mocs. Get tired of that Lane Train blah blah blah on the other sport's show.

Bert and I have been replaced and we are no longer affiliated with Brewer Media. Budget cutbacks were the reason at least according to station management. (2nd time this has happened to me in seven months). Brewer hired us beginning in mid June and we did the show for four months. If we had known they were only committing to four months rather than at least a year, we would have never taken the job. As far as the first rating book is concerned (June, July and August) it was surprisingly good especially in 25-54 year old males. ***while sports talk has an average audience of 1500 males at any one time, we delivered 500. This is before football season ever started and when you consider Quake and Dr. B's show has been on the air for at least 18-20 years and our show was on four months, that's pretty good. I am also not doing Ooltewah football, but if you have further questions about that feel free to contact the school next week. I thoroughly enjoyed doing the Owls' games this year and am pulling for them to win it all. I hope this answers a few of your questions. As far as what I will do next, I have no idea right now. But I am very sour on broadcasting. Its not the same as it was even five years ago. Randy Smith

Nothing against him and this is only one person's opinion. I too think it is hard for a city our size to have "competing" "local" sports talk radio shows at the same time. I thought Randy and Bert did a very nice show. I found myself changing back and forth between theirs and Quakes and Dr. B's during commercial breaks and based on topics at the time. I thought it would have been a good idea to have Randy's show in the morning drive period. That way you would have two local shows a day. There are currently no morning local sports talk shows. Just my two cents and my opinions. Good luck in your future endeavors Randy. I personally think you are a true professional and a good person.
