[Husker] OT: 1620 the zone format change

[Quinn Coldiron]

For those in the Omaha/Council Bluffs area, 1620 just announced a format and 
affiliate change.   They are dropping ESPN and moving to a combo Fox/Westwood 
One affiliate.  


Daytime format starting in February:
 
5am-8am a new show.  Forgot the name, but it's a Westwood show, not Steven A 
Smith from Fox (thank you!) 

Schick/Nick  moves to 8am-11am
Jim Rome 11-2 (moves from 590)

Unsportsmanlike 2-6 (the same)

Between Fox and Westwood One they have locked in lots of live games.

Westwood One sports programming:

Kind of was hoping they'd go Sporting News Radio and not Fox.  I like the SNR 
lineup and listen online. I will miss Mike and Mike from ESPN in the mornings, 
but I have grown tired of most of the rest of the ESPN radio programming.

With Kugler moving up in Westwood One, this change does not surprise me.
