What stations and shows do you listen to local and national? List the station for local or satellite. Who do you hate? Who do you like? Who is knowledgeable, and whole is full of crap? Thought this would be a good discussion topic.

In the tricites i listen to Bill Meade in afternoons. In mornings i listen to bobby rader and Kenny hawkins on monday Wednesday and Friday. Cant listen on Tuesday or Thursday cause a guy named bud is on there and is anti Tennessee and all he talks is Carolina. I hate Carolina. They are all on 640 am wxsm. On my phone i listen to rucker ans swain whenever i can.

Wes may ban me for this, but I just don't listen to much radio of any kind anymore. Way too many commercials for my taste.
I have been entertained by Dan Patrick lately. I watch a chunk of his ESPN simulcast while I run the treadmill in the gym.

I occasionally listen to ESPN Radio up here in Anchorage (literally the only sports talk radio in the state), but outside of that I listen to TSR - specifically Swain and Rucker because I'm not getting up at 3am local time to listen to Ainge. That 4 hour time difference really sucks sometimes...

I quit listening to Bill Meade. He's knowledgeable, but he rambles anymore and only takes like 2-3 callers per hour. I like the morning show, Bobby keeps the callers moving and the subjects on topic. Bud is the Clay Travis of the tri cities, lol.
I listen to Ruckers show on podcast alot.
National, I will listen to Dan Patrick on podcast. I can tolerate Cowherd somedays and Scott Van pelt is hillarious.

You really like Kincade? He usually drives me nuts, particularly his dislike of all things SEC. Tell me he's changed because I haven't listened much at all since they changed time slots.

Download the free app on Google Play -- what was the Android Market -- and you can get it there. All kinds of great stuff on the app.

Well all they really talk about now is braves baseball but for the most part he's still the same but buck is pro sec and I like the back and forth between the two. To be honest with you I only listen to them during football season on a regular bases, other times I just check in.

During baseball season when I used to listen, he was so pro Phillies I wanted to strangle him. But with the Fightin' Phils in the cellar, it might have dawned on him that he's on the air in Atlanta.
Buck is an obvious UGA homer, but at least he is fair to the other SEC teams.

I agree. I started listening to Bill on 90s and he was really good. The show started going downhill when he expanded to longer time slot a few years ago. Before smart phones he was my only choice now i usually hook up my phone in car and listen to knox radio on way home from work.
