He’s a hardon, and his laugh is about the most objectionable noise on the planet.

Josh Peterson is impossible to listen to - constantly bagging on Nebraska with his Woody Woodpecker laugh.
I would think he would just go right into podcasting. He still has tons of contacts/friends that he can have on his show.
"Alan Usher, who owns more than a dozen stations throughout Nebraska, said he plans to distribute more of The Zone's sports content — including its live broadcasts of Creighton basketball games — on other stations throughout the state.
He had positive things to say about The Zone's status as the CU rights holder in an arrangement that features Zone talk show host John Bishop as the Jays' play-by-play voice.
He said he expects some of The Zone's Creighton-focused content to play well in central and western Nebraska, though those regions are often associated more with Nebraska."
A Jaysker businessman from Grand Island bought 1620 and a dozen other Nebraska stations, he wants to spread Creighton propaganda across the state.
I wonder if there is any type of Jay love outside of Omaha and maybe Lincoln.
I know we have some central and western Nebraska residents, are the Jays even a thing out there?
Maybe a better question would be how many advertisers based in the western half of the state are willing to spend ad dollars on this?
Or caring what strangers political beliefs are on an anonymous message board about amateur sports
Get your Creighton coverage in central Nebraska
Glad Sharp is back at it with the OWH. His replacements at 1620 are not great and off my podcast list...Will have to add Pick 6 now. Sharp is a very good listen in my opinion.
Me too, Sharp has the takes and voice- good for him
Agree. Schaeffer is ok, but Happer is terribly biased and a poor listen. Such a weird move by 1620, but worked out in the end for Sharpy and OWH.
On the morning show, happer just announced 1620 is sponsoring and mc’ing Omaha’s gay pride parade. Was hoping companies were moving on from this performative nonsense, and on what planet does a sports talk show think this is a good idea. Maybe ownership is gay?
So what? But I'll say that in Nebraska politically, this isn't a good move for a sports radio station to make. I thought most radio stations were bought out by national conservative companies. Maybe 1620 is an outlier?
People pay attention to that stuff?
1620 the zone could be sponsored by Ted Bundy and I wouldn't notice or care.
All that matters is if I like the hosts.

Hard not to pay attention when they broadcast it during their show.
It isn't...just think of it like when your wife (best friend) is talking...or when you are talking to her. Neither of you are actually listening.
You mean “ignore.” Better analogy would be most posters reactions to your posts. Amiright?
If anyone DOESN'T ignore my posts, I feel sorry for them.
I would guess I am "on ignore" by 95% of the people here.
All Creighton fans are LGBT so it's not surprising they would sponsor the parade
There are not really even any jay fans...they just go to the games to drink and be seen.
it's been a few years since I was in the area and tuned in to 1620, but I'm noticing that I can work and do whatever with the radio on, and it's like old times.. but if I have the news on, or social media, it's like a huge hijack of your attention and there is all this embedded politics in everything. Anyway, there is something to be said about radio, or maybe it's just that I tolerate it better?
Last week iHeart radio stations purged local radio staff across the country. It’s too bad that many local radio stations everywhere are experiencing financial problems.
I would LOSE MY MIND!If they sponsored marriage outside of it being sacramental you'd care.
So bad that you take the lgbtq dollars to pretend you are so proud? Did 1620 just realize how proud they are, or have they always supported pride, and are now just coming out of the closet? Wonder if this had something to do with Gary getting the hell out. “Hey Gary, instead of calling balls and strikes tonight at the game, you are going to be seeing balls and dikes at the parade. Here, put on these assless chaps and dog collar and put on some eye liner and go interview the smelly blue-haired “community organizer” and pretend like you have anything in common with them.” How pathetic how far they have fallen.
I can’t imagine it would be a good move for a sports radio station in any state.
