NBC Sports Radio Downsizes

The daily lineup for NBC Sports Radio will get a lot slimmer in the new year. Beginning on January 1, the network will drop most of its weekday programming, and instead focus on around the clock updates.

According to sportsradiopd.com, just one show remains on the weekday schedule. PFT Live with Mike Florio is safe. The network will also start a new PM drive show that will be available every weekday. On the weekends, NBC Sports Radio will make The Best of PFT With Mike Florio and Safety Blitz With Rodney Harrison available to affiliates.

A spokesperson for Westwood One, which distributes NBC Sports Radio programming, issued a statement to All Access saying “Our desire to focus on sports updates and these primary NBC Sports Radio programs will result in the discontinuation of some of our daily sports shows.  We appreciate and thank all of the talented voices and producers who have contributed to NBC Sports Radio over the years

Amongst those losing their spot on the weekday lineup are Newy Scruggs, Mark Malone, Keith Irizarry, Dan Schwartzman, Dave Smith, and Scott Seidenberg. Jack Silver will remain as NBC Sports Radio’s program director.
