That's cool. I wonder if it will take the SECN guys on XM83 (McElroy and Taylor Zarsur).

What ever happened to Bill King? He was on XM83 a couple years ago and then he left.

The Alabama radio network coming to you live from outer space.

There are people who actually watch the Finebaum show?

Bill King is the Best when it come to covering college football from primarily a southern perspective (SEC/ACC) but he's really good covering the other P5 conferences too. I like that his show was straight football and wasn't filled with made for radio drama like another one.

The station is among the streaming channels on XM it is not on the dial on the car radio.

Bill King WAS the best, but he faded out, he clung to the old, and refused to change. He essentially phased himself out of the business, now no one cares about him, and he's sitting around all angry that we have a playoff

More Finebaum. No thanks.

 

[KurtRambis4]

I'm

with you.

That show sucks. Always has.

Bill King is great. Still get to hear him daily in Huntsville, as 97.7 (which is also their local ESPN affilliate) picks up the feed from Nashville. Of course now, its hit or miss because of the general lack of college football news, so they have started doing some alternate programming in the mornings while it is in the lull.
