Jeremy Levy back with you with some more radio updates. I first wanted to send my condolences to Tad Swensen’s family. Tad used to be with Kool 105 radio in Colorado. My friend Gary Outlaw told me that he passed away. Condolences to him and his family.
Speaking of family. Tyler Polumbus hasn’t been on 92.5 Altitude Sports radio. He will be back as he is gone for family reasons. Scott Hastings and Josh Dover have been doing a great job holding down the fort while he has been gone. Tyler was back on Tuesday January 31, 2023.
Speaking of sports radio 104.3 the fan. Derek Wolfe shared a story with Daron Mckey about when he hunted a mountain lion. Barett’s sports media had an interesting article about his experience, and how some of the national sports media thought about the story. This article discussed how Pat McAfee heard the story. Derek thought it was interesting. If you would like to check it out it is under the sports radio news section of the Barrett’s sports media website.
104.3 the Fan has started a new brand. The brand is Denver sports. They got in trouble with some of the branding. There is a lawsuit going on relating to the brand. This is a developing story. The Denver sports will also have a new app to go along with it.

The show bird talk had their last show on 710 KNUS back a couple of weeks ago. Barb Shlinker’s Colorado Springs Real Estate show is on during their time period. Good luck to Dave and Scott with their retirement. They sold the stores to their franchise partners. The stores are still around. I’ve been listening to them since the late 90’s. Peter Boyles had them on his show, and it was a great interview. You can go back and listen to that hour on the podcasts page on the 710 KNUS radio website. I met Scott, and David at the stores when they did a broadcast, and it was a great time. I will miss Dave and Scott’s show.
