Cleveland has another all-sports radio station.<\/p>\n
Only this one is going to have a Las Vegas lean.<\/p>\n
IHeart Media Cleveland has announced that this week marks the debut of Fox Sports 1350 AM, a station that is being dubbed \"The Gambler.\"<\/p>\n
The station, according to iHeart, \"will focus on sports talk with a concentration on gambling.\" There will be top-of-the-hour wagering updates from Vegas Stats and Information, along with programming from the BeTR Network.<\/p>\n
Shows led by Dan Patrick, Colin Cowherd and Doug Gottlieb will occupy the 9-5 workday, and longtime Cleveland radio personality Mark \"Munch\" Bishop is hosting a three-hour program that begins at 6 a.m.<\/p>\n
The full weekday programming lineup is as follows:<\/p>\n
Midnight-2 a.m.: The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon<\/p>\n
2-6 a.m.: The Ben Maller Show<\/p>\n
6-9 a.m.: Munch on Sports<\/p>\n
9 a.m.-noon: The Dan Patrick Show<\/p>\n
Noon-3 p.m.: The Herd with Colin Cowherd<\/p>\n
3-5 p.m.: The Doug Gottlieb Show<\/p>\n
5-7 p.m.: My Guys in the Desert with Brent Musberger<\/p>\n
7-9 p.m.: The Odd Couple with Chris Broussard and Rob Parker<\/p>\n
9 p.m.-midnight: The Green Zone<\/p>\n
\"The Lombardi Line,\" which features former Browns GM Mike Lombardi, will also be part of the weekly rotation, as will such NFL-themed shows as \"The Red Zone\" and \"Fox NFL Kickoff Simulcast.\"<\/p>\n
Keith Hotchkiss, the president of iHeart's northern Ohio region, called The Gambler \"the future of sports radio.\"<\/p>\n
New York-based iHeart operates more than 850 radio stations. Its Cleveland presence is significant, with WAKS-FM, 96.5; ALT-FM, 99.1; WGAR-FM, 99.5; WMMS-FM, 100.7; WMJI-FM, 105.7; REAL-FM, 106.1; WHLK-FM, 106.5; and WTAM-AM, 1100 among the stations thatiHeart owns and operates.<\/p>\n
The company, though, is undergoing what it described as a \"new organizational structure,\" one that, according to Cleveland.com, has resulted in several layoffs in the Cleveland market.<\/p>\n
Previously, 1350 had been a Fox Sports affiliate based in Akron.<\/p>\n
The launch of The Gambler, though, has resulted in the studios being moved to Cleveland and the lineup being reshuffled to make room for gambling, an iHeart source told Crain's.<\/p>\n
