The Jay Mariotti comeback tour moves to Fox Sports Radio.
Mariotti will sit in for Jay Mohr on his noon-3 p.m. ET show today and Friday. In an email, he said he was contacted by Clear Channel about handling the fill-in duties.
“I like the brand and what they’re doing with it,” Mariotti said.
After being mostly on the sidelines since 2010 following a highly publicized legal incident, Mariotti jumped back in this summer with his own site, Mariottishow.com. The site features a daily web-based radio show, videos and Mariotti columns on everything and anything.
Fox Sports Radio gives the polarizing Mariotti, a former panelist on ESPN’s Around the Horn, his biggest platform in recent years. Will it be a one-time test drive, or will it lead more of Mariotti on Fox Sports Radio?
As they say, stay tuned.
Well…I won’t be listening to Fox Sports Radio the next few days that’s for sure.
Jay Mariotti meet Mike North. Two buffoons that somehow keep getting stations to let them go on the air. (Those stations eventually realize nobody wants to listen to them and I’m sure this will be the exact same situation.)
