Are 1380 the Team and 590 the Fan For Sale?

for_sale_signWe know for a fact there have been talks about selling each of these stations before and we have have heard the continuing rumors since and we are hearing them again.  Both Simmons (who owns Team 1380) and Big League Broadcasting (who owns 590 The Fan) are rumored to be looking for buyers of their AM signal.

Of course both General Managers will tell you otherwise, the fact is the decision to sell isn’t up to them.

Brian McKenna Jumping to 1380?

…and the St. Louis sports talk orgy continues…

We have just received word that Brian McKenna, formally of KFNS 590 is jumping from one sinking ship to another as he will be starting as cohost of the Bernie Miklasz Show (2p-6p) as soon as tomorrow (Feb 9th).

We know that Bernie has had his share of cohosts since Randy Karraker was let go due to budget constraints (and later landed with the new 101 ESPN).  Nearly all the cohosts Bernie has been with have been horrible (Jay Randolph jr and Joe Zydlo being some of the most offensive) so maybe this is a move by 1380 to solidify up that show…or with all the movement between these two stations lately the was “the talking head to be named later” in the “Fox Hole” trade.

Back to McKenna: Because of the way we came across this info, we believe this deal either isn’t official yet, or 1380 are trying to keep it a “surprise” of sorts.  More than likely we should hear something official tomorrow.

Breaking: KFNS Producer Arrested on Rape Charges

This post has an update, see below!

Ryan Huff, a Production Director and Producer for all sports-talk station KFNS (590 AM) was arrested in Arnold and charges were filed that included raping underage girls.

Apparently Huff met the girls on “an internet chatroom,” which could mean anything since I’m guessing the reporter on the KMOV video I watched doesn’t know the difference between this very site and and actual “internet chatroom.”  After the meeting online, the two went to the movies, on a “date,” and then back to a house where they were joined by another 13 year old girl.  Shortly after her arrival they started partaking in sexual activity.  Huff’s alleged Playskool Orgy was noticed only after photos were taken and the girls where showing them around school!

Unfortunately for Huff, current Missouri state and federal laws don’t allow you to add the ages of your simultaneous sexual partners together to try to get a number above 18.

Check out the video (Because who the hell would ever want to link to an actual written piece?!) on KMOV’s website…oh and don’t fuck with Larry Conors.
