New local sports talk show on 1600KGYM CR/IC areas

The gym class is fine for what it is. The Ironside and Cal segments are pretty cool, but I'm excited to see what kind of sports talk the new guys are capable of. Hopefully it will be closer to what KXNO used to do than what the Gym Class is like now.

The Gym Class is not fine - I'm 99% sure those guys have no idea what they're gonna talk about before they get on air. Its horrible radio and I think even the guys on the show know it

I agree. I've noticed, too, that whenever they aren't talking about uninteresting stuff like Hawkeye Downs racing or spending most of their hour talking with Mark Ironside and they are actually talking about Iowa football or basketball, they're often uninformed about things or a few days behind whatever story everyone else is talking about. Say what you will about KXNO, but whenever I've listened to that station, they've always seemed better-informed and more current than the Gym Class guys. (Though I haven't listened to the new morning or afternoon guys, so I don't know if that's still the case.)

I think Brommelkamp and Balbinot should be good to listen to. I hope they do well.
 


If I get back into daily talk radio it will have to be perfect fit as far as on air partner, time slot and a few other things. I Have listened to a few pitches during the last three months, but nothing I would call the perfect fit for me. I am not in any hurry.


You kind of sound like a coach waiting for the perfect fit with an NFL franchise. Ala Kirk Ferentz in the future.

Ain't this the truth! That show is awful. Scott Unash (sp) has a good radio voice, but he clearly gets his news from the morning paper as he never has a clue on what is current news.

And honestly who wants to listen to a tape delayed Dan Patrick? I think that's a total waste of time.

I think Balbinot will be good, always enjoyed him. Not too familiar with Brommelkamp's work, but I really like the idea of a daily talk show in the CR area.
