Longtime local sports talk show radio host Jeff Weinberger, a fixture in the market for five decades, died Saturday at age 62, according to The Commercial-Appeal.

Weinberger was known for his passion detailing local high school recruiting, a topic he frequently discussed on his shows.


A White Station High and then-Memphis State University graduate, Weinberger served as a host on multiple stations through the years, including WHBQ 560 AM and recently 730 Yahoo! Sports Radio, where he co-hosted `Sports Call' from 3 to 5 p.m. show with Bill Moore.

Before joining Moore for the show on 730 Yahoo! Sports Radio, Weinberger co-hosted `The Press Box' on WHBQ with Will Askew. Askew called Weinberger "a Memphis treasure."
