We sort of saw this coming and now it's official --John Tournour -aka: "JT the Brick" is coming to 957FM The Game...He starts next week from 10 -12 (Noon)"I am thrilled to be back in the Bay Area again on local radio --'this means a lot to me because of the relationships I've built over 20 years," The Brick told me exclusively via phone.
"To get an opportunity to talk daily about the Raiders and the most exciting teams in all of sports--the GS Warriors."
Tournour will do his local show from Las Vegas where he's based and does his national show.
Wow, that's great news! Big fan of JT should have never left local radio..Great call Rich
ReplyDeleteI see comments are underwhelmed. Not a good sign...
ReplyDeleteIs this guy still around? He's so late 1990's.
ReplyDeleteSo is the guy who hired him. I think this is his first hire and it's JT the Brick. Unbelievable.
DeleteUnless Eastbay politicians and Hall-of-Famer turned businessman Ronnie Lott pull off a Hail Mary, JT the Brick may have the Raiders near his big backyard. The Vegas hype machine and the Raiders-Rebels synonyms are already underway.
ReplyDeleteExactly what I was thinking. Was never a huge JT fan but with the Raiders probably going to Vegas, he'll be right there and he can report and give the inside skinny to the Silver and Black faithful on the Game.
DeleteWell, there has been NO LOCAL SPORTS ON THE RADIO during those hours for a LONG TIME. This will fill a void. Even a trained monkey could fill the current void. But JT Laying a Brick will be an improvement.
ReplyDeleteThey had a better solution RIGHT UNDER THEIR NOSE! They should have just picked up Rick Tittle's (already existing between 10-Noon) Sports Byline USA show through syndication. It's very East Bay centric and his humor is very dry. I listen every weekday on the Tunein Radio App.
ReplyDeleteI tried listening to 95.7 this morning on the way to work between KNBR commercials. It was unlistenable. They had some woman on with the normal hosts whose voice was unbelievably grating.
ReplyDeleteWas it Hillary Clinton? I was listening to Armstrong & Getty instead.
DeleteI think it was Ivanka.
DeleteSo, you must have listened for about 15-20 mins since that's what an avg KNBR commercial lasts.
ReplyDeleteCan't these people just go by their given name? JT the Brick. Really? Kevin the Rat.
ReplyDeleteReally? Ralph the Razor.
Like those who drive big trucks, must have something to do with dick size.
jt brick being hired goes over like a ton of bricks...in front of your parking space. so late 90's pub talk is out of date? seems like it's at knbr anyway. nothing too different.stll say , the greatest ''drop'' is, ''and Boom goes the dynamite"...POW!!
