Mike Boyle Restaurant Show
I started listening to Mike Boyle and the restaurant show since 1996. I have been a loyal listener ever since. I have followed him to 3 radio stations. In 1998, I met him at one of his Boyle Supper Clubs. A Boyle Supper Club or Lunch Bunch is where Mike invites you to join him at a restaurant for a meal, and the meal is a lower price than you would normally get if you just went to the restaurant normally. He used to do them for the call letters of the station. Now he just does them for a reduced price. The words “Supper Club” is a misnomer. Everyone is welcome to come to these events. These Supper Clubs are a wonderful chance to meet new people. I usually go to a deal when a restaurant has good hamburgers. Mike considers me his official hamburger taster and reporter for the Mike Boyle Restaurant Show. I have been on the air with him in the studio to talk about this topic, and we have very similar tastes when it comes to a tasty and delicious hamburger and French Fries. I hope he does another hamburger restaurant event very soon.Mike doesn’t always talk about restaurants. He also talks about travel, books, movies, and anything else that people do in their spare time. I enjoy it when he also talks about travel. I really enjoy Mike’s attitude about his show. There might be a chance to win gift certificates on his show by calling him on the air. There might also be some other prizes as well. I would highly recommend that people tune into this fun, entertaining, and exciting show.You can listen, and or tune into Mike’s show from 10-1 on Saturdays on 1460KZNT The Answer in Colorado Springs, and from 3-5 on Saturdays on news talk 710 KNUS. Also you can tune in or call in on Sunday on both stations from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.Thanks for tuning in. Jeremy Levy
Radio tip- Brad Hansen
I just learned in an inside radio blog that Brad Hansen has left the station KWOF 92.5 country radio, and has taken over the programming of 3 radio stations in Albuquerque New Mexico.These stations are:"NASH FM 92.3" KRST, "NASH Icon" KBZU and "eD-FM" KDRF. I sometimes listened to KWOF radio, and I really think Brad Hansen was a good program director. I will miss him. Congratulations to Brad on his new job. Before programming KWOF radio, Brad worked in the fort Collins market. What does this mean for KWOF radio? Does this mean that KWOF radio maybe going in a different direction? Could it be flipping formats? Well, there is only one way to find out. Stay Tuned.Thanks for tuning in.Jeremy Levy
Colorado Rockies opening day
I really enjoy listening to the Colorado Rockies on the radio. I get excited for the season to start. I also relish listening on opening day for all of the pregame festivities. This year was no exception. I was so eager that I had trouble falling asleep the night before. I woke up at 5 o’clock and I tuned into the flagship station for the Colorado Rockies and one of my favorite stations to listen to -850 KOA. I adored listening to Steffan Tubbs and April Zesbaugh on Colorado’s Morning News. I thought they did a wonderful job with the interviews and telling us what was happening at Coors Field. Steffan Tubbs and April Zesbaugh always have fantastic information in the mornings. After their show was finished, I tuned in to KOA radio to hear Mandy Connell and Mike Rosen. They were also broadcasting from the ball park. This was new for the both of them. Mike Rosen has filled in for Mandy before, but they had never done a show together. I thought that they made a great team. If you are not as tuned to Colorado like I am, you should know that Mandy Connell took over for Mike Rosen after Mike Rosen’s semi-retirement. I thought that the most interesting question that Mike Rosen asked of Mandy was“Which team did you grow up with? Also which team did you grow up to hate?”Mandy said that she grew up in Florida, but I don’t remember what her 2 teams were. Mike and Mandy had some of Mike Rosen’s baseball material as well. Mike Rosen likes to play who’s on first by Abbot and Costello. At noon, Dave Logan and Susie Wargin took over for the early afternoon shift. Dave Logan and Susie Wargin are my 2 favorite sports radio personalities in sports radio. Dave and Susie interviewed one of the TV voices of the Colorado Rockies, and they also interviewed one of the players. I thought these were great pregame festivities and I am looking forward to them again next year.Thanks for tuning in.Jeremy Levy
Radio tip about Ryno from KYGO’s morning show
Ryno from the Ryno and Tracy show has left KYGO radio after 3 or 4 years. Ryno is doing radio for KKMJ radio in Austin Texas. I have heard his show, but I wasn’t a loyal listener. I just wanted to wish Ryno good luck with his new radio job in Austin.Thanks for tuning in. Jeremy Levy
Irv Brown's last show
Irv and Joe’s broadcast Thursday was the last show that Irv and Joe did together on Mile High Sports radio. It was a show to honor Irv Brown who is a radio legend here in Denver Sports radio. The broadcast started out with a very familiar voice in Denver Sports radio Dave Logan. He was on with Irv and Joe for a half an hour. Irv and Joe gave Dave Logan his first start in radio. Dave shared a couple of stories about when the 3 of them worked together. Former guests of the show called in to wish Irv good luck. A former coach of the CU Buffalos called in Bill Macartney. Everybody had wonderful stories, and very touching things to say about Irv Brown. The last highlight of the show was when Hal Moore stopping by the show. Hal is still doing radio on 1510, and 93.7 on the weekends. It was a very successful send off to Irv Brown.Good luck Irv. I really enjoyed listening to you since 1997. I first remember the broadcasts that you did at the Black Eyed Pea. A second memory I have is whenever I would visit my friends Walter and Ted Johnson. I would always ask have you heard from Irv and Joe? Ted Johnson would come on with them to talk about horse racing and other sports topics. The last memory I have is when Irv and Joe were on 950 the fan. I was home from school not feeling well. I tuned in that day to hear Irv and Joe. Sandy Clough was substituting for Joe, and I really thought Irv and Sandy did a great job working together. Irv and Sandy put together a gentler form of sports radio back then. A lot of callers are not use to that style.Thanks for tuning in.Jeremy Levy
Irv Brown Retiring!
After 30 plus years in Denver Sports radio Irv Brown of the IRV and Joe show is retiring today. Irv has been a great radio talk show host in my opinion. I really enjoyed his show with Joe Williams. I first started listening to Irv back in 1997, and have followed his show on several radio stations. The Denver post reports that Joe will continue with the show after Irv’s departure. Irv has been suffering with some back issues. Good luck to Irv Brown!Thanks for tuning in.Jeremy Levy
