Carrying a little stick and speaking loudly in Milwaukee

3.26.2004

Tony Kornheiser ended his run today as a talk show host on ESPN Radio. The show was available in Milwaukee on Sports Radio 1510.

The Tony Kornheiser Show changed the nature of sports talk radio. Rather than endless sports geek talk about third round draft picks, Kornheiser mixed sports with pop culture, politics and his own unique sense of humor. His guests consisted primarily of sports journalists rather than athletes which was a good idea considering most athletes are pretty boring to listen to as they typically talk endlessly in cliches.

Mr. Tony will be hard if not impossible to replace on the radio. He'll still be available to his fans on ESPN shows like Pardon the Interruption and Dream Job and in his Washington Post column. For fans and the curious, be sure to check out some of the entertaining audio clips from the show available on the ESPN Radio site.

"If you're out on your bike tonight, do wear white." -Tony Kornheiser
