Plaster, host of afternoon drive "Sports Night" on WPRT 102.5-FM The Game, has been hired as associate athletics director for marketing at Belmont University in Nashville. The new position means Plaster will step away from daily sports talk radio in Nashville where he's been a fixture for more than 30 years.
The opportunity to join forces with new Belmont athletics director Scott Corley was one Plaster said he could not pass up. Corley, a former Belmont basketball player, and Plaster have been close friends for many years.
"I've never had a 9-to-5 job in my life so this is a radical switch for me," Plaster said. "When Scott approached me with it, the wheels started turning and the more that I kept thinking about it, I was like, 'This is getting you stirred up. This is something that's right down your alley.' There's just a comfort level with everything about this. It's probably the one scenario that I would've considered leaving radio."
"This is obviously a huge decision for me and one that was not taken lightly," Plaster said. "You don't walk away from something so meaningful and gratifying — for me radio — unless it's the perfect situation."
Plaster, a Battle Ground Academy and Vanderbilt graduate, got his start in radio locally in the early 1990s on WTN 99.7-FM and then WGFX 104.5-FM.
