Worst Sports Station Liner Ever...
« on: June 21, 2012, 01:32:57 PM »

It seems for every dozen sports stations in the U.S., one doesn't know how to come up with good liners...

I give you 106.1 The Eagle - Cookeville, Tennessee: "The Station With All The Balls"

Real mature guys...as if we didn't know what "balls" you were talking about...

What's next? Fart jokes as liners?

680 the Fan used to call themselves "the super stick" about a decade ago. They had a more superior signal than their competitor, 790 the Zone. There was also a little innuendo with that name too. So much that Buck Belue (longtime host and former Georgia QB) told me that they got complaints about it and stopped using it.

KFBK/1530 Sacramento, a news/talker with a heavy sports presence at the time (early 1990's), had "All the Balls" billboards.

Talk WTAM/1100 here has used that liner frequently...they're the (AM) home of the market's three major pro franchises.  (The Cleveland Browns' primary home is rock/talk WMMS/100.7, which also airs occasional Indians and Cavs games.)

Back in late 2005, ESPN 1050 (now 98.7) in New York ran a liner that went something like this: "One guy's talking politics [Imus]; the other's talking about his new half-billion-dollar radio deal [Stern]... make the switch now, buddy! Mike & Mike, mornings..."

Why do you feel WEPN's liner was poor?
