Sports Map Radio is adding to its lineup. The network has announced the addition of The Cash-In with Jason Page. The show will debut on September 5th and air weeknights from 10p-1a ET.

The new nightly program, which will be produced in conjunction with Page’s new company, Decibel 88, is expected to become the first show on the network to focus on the world of sports betting, fantasy sports, and pick ‘em games. Plans are to provide opportunities for listeners to win prizes too.

“Every segment, our goal will be to entertain and inform,” said Page. “Our aim is to be a companion to the games our listeners are watching. Turn the sound down and hang out with us for the fastest three hours in all of sports radio.”

Page’s radio career includes national stops at SiriusXM, NBC Sports Radio, and the BLEAV
Podcast Network. He’s also worked locally for ESPN New York, 95.7 The Game, and ESPN Radio 1410.

“Jason Page is a wonderful addition to our lineup,” said Gow Media COO and Program Director, Craig Larson. “His ability to combine thought provoking topics and humorous anecdotes make for must listen radio.”

Sports radio listeners in western Kentucky and southeast Missouri can rejoice, thanks to a recent decision by Withers Broadcasting to switch formats.

Folks in the Paducah area of Kentucky can now find FOX Sports Radio on 95.9 FM, while listeners in Cape Girardeau, Missouri can find FSR on 97.3.

Withers switched the two stations to sports talk from oldies and classic country.

Among the lineup of hosts that can be heard on the stations include Dan Patrick, Colin Cowherd, Jason Smith, Ben Maller and Outkick 360 hosted by Jonathan Hutton, Chad Withrow, and Paul Kuharsky.

Two months after announcing its triumphant return to the Rhode Island airwaves, Sports Radio 790 The Score is set to go live next week.

And in addition to the station’s lineup of national hosts and sports betting shows, former Providence Journal writer Kevin McNamara will be hosting the station’s only local show.

McNamara will host his show from 5-7 pm, sandwiched between You Better You Bet and Bet MGM Tonight.

McNamara, who hosted a one-hour show on WPRO, saw his time extended an hour. He said this is a great opportunity to get listeners involved early.

“In one hour I tried to be as newsy as I could,” McNamara told Bill Koch of The Providence Journal. “It’s basically a three-segment show — we’d try to have three different subjects. Now we’ll try to hit those three different subjects, but we’ll have a real avenue for calls.” 

The second hour of McNamara’s show will be simulcasted on WPRO.

The Score, which was last on the air in the market in 2008, will carry Providence men’s basketball, Brown men’s basketball and football, the New England Patriots, the Boston Celtics and the New York Yankees.

The station hopes to eat at some of the market share in Rhode Island currently held by both Boston sports stations, WEEI and 98.5 The Sports Hub.

“I think, because it’s new, I’d encourage people to give it a shot,” McNamara said. “It will be very different from the Boston-based sports radio that we’ve become used to.”
