I heard maybe "JT the Brick" was to replace Bruno
Is this the final decision by the people at Fox Sports Radio???
If this is the case, Im going back to Lisle and Hahn on KISS.
Van Earl WRONGis terrible and he was the sole reason I stopped watching FSN for anything.
Please tell me he is a fill-in for someone that is a tad bit better, or at least has all of their teeth.
I heard maybe "JT the Brick" was to replace Bruno
Why did Bruno leave?
He was Canned by Andrew Ashwood
i was hoping it was temporary, but that ing sucks.....that was my morning drive to work show.....hopefully bruno will get another morning gig......
p.s. it's always about the money....
Any specific reason?
I mean, I never really liked him... but I like Van Earl even less...
Link?... I have not listened to Bruno in a while...been listening to Dallas Ticket since football season began...but did listen to it some this morning...though was half asleep so only remember hearing ...Andrew Siciliano. apparently this station has van earl as host of the extravaganza http://www.knbr.com/tonyBruno/index.html ..
and here is an excerpt from an article http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cg...PGHQ8TTIC1.DTL
Flux is the operative word for the morning drive-time slots on the Bay Area's sports stations these days.
Last week, KNBR (680 AM) jettisoned "The John London Not Just Sports Show. " Then last Friday, Tony Bruno had his final appearance on Fox Sports Radio's morning program, which airs in the Bay Area on KTCT (1050 AM), KNBR's sister station.
In a phone interview Thursday, Bruno, who lives in Southern California, said KNBR had offered him the job to replace London, but Bruno decided he wanted to take some time simply to assess what he wants to do with his career, and couldn't commit to the station.
"It wasn't that I wasn't flattered," Bruno said.
KNBR program director Bob Agnew acknowledged the station had considered hiring Bruno, but that "in (Bruno's) heart and mind, he's a network guy."
In Thursday's interview, Bruno made it clear he didn't consider himself too good for KNBR.
"I don't want people to think I'm trying to 'big-time' KNBR," Bruno said, adding that he always has enjoyed the Bay Area whenever he has visited. Bruno, a Philadelphia native who spent time with ESPN Radio, said he is in a relationship with a woman in Southern California and that's one main reason his "goal is to stay in L.A."
Of course, Bruno does have a presence on KNBR. He joins Gary Radnich every weekday morning between 9:30 and 10. With more free time because he doesn't have the Fox Radio responsibilities, Bruno has appeared for two segments, instead of his typical one, with Radnich this week.
Meanwhile, Bruno's former sidekick, Andrew Siciliano, has hosted the Fox show this week with former Royals pitcher Mark Gubicza. Next week, Fox Sports broadcaster Chris Myers will join Siciliano in the studio. In an e-mail, a Fox Sports Radio spokeswoman said, "In the near future, we will announce the new host with Andrew."

Andrew Siciliano "I believe I can fly"
the only reason I listened to 760 in the AM is beacuse of T B, now that he is gone Im back to local programming like the knuckleheads at KISS and the like
oh well, looks like Ill only listen in the afternoon now
I was wondering if Tony Bruno was gone for good.
It sucks.
I think Siciliano carried Bruno, anyway.
But without Bruno, where would Andrew be today?
I don't know.
I think you're right, Latifah. He should have his own show (he'll probably have more of a leading role in the new Extravaganza, at least I hope so...)
True, he gave Siciliano a job, and Siciliano blew right past him.
I had also heard the rumors of JT the "prick" taking Brunos slot. I wouldn't put it past Ashwood to eventually put his boy in that slot eventually. I doubt Bruno will go to ESPN. Mike and Mike are firmly entrenched over there, so who knows?
Interesting Banter.
Van Earl Is your New Morning Host.
Haven't heard the new show, too painful
Mike and Mike in the mornings isn't bad. And even though Ticket-760 stops broadcasting it after just two hours, you can still catch it on ESPNews if you're near a TV.
Also what is Fox Sports Radio doing on their overnight stuff? I miss hearing Bruce Jacobs and Ben Maller, now they have this three hour replay of the "Best Damn Sports Show Period" crap. Who cares?
Would you rather STSA or A Morning Show.
What if they moved Walter and Vex to Morning Drive?
In regards to Andrew S. He may be the most well-rounded person I know.
The guy could do anything he wants. He just happened to choose sports.
I just can't see Vex and Walter doing a morning show. Actually I've gotten use to listening to their show now in the afternoon. Although if they can figure out a way to 86 Don Harris completely, it would be a blessing. Harris runs the show to the ground when he comes on. Both shows (STSA and Hardcore Sports) grind to a halt once Harris and his brown nosing hits the airwaves.
Everyone from this era will always remember where they were when they heard about the first plane hitting the World Trade Center early on 9-11. I was listening to the extravagana with Tony Bruno. That's the one thing that will always stick out in my mind about this program.
Getting back to sports talk, this really sucks. This was my favorite sports radio show on 760. Regardless of the topic, it was always entertaining. I've had all I can stand of Jim Rome. And rest of the afternoon/evening stuff is all crap. JT the Brick is nothing more than a wannabe Jim Rome.
I was too, come to think of it. I was headed south on Padre Island Drive just going under the Crosstown overpass in Corpus.
Caught the "new" show this morning and noticed that during the intro, nothing was said in reference to Andrew. Ten bucks says he doesn't survive the year on the show.
Funny thing, I was listening to Bruno on 9/11 as well...
What if they moved Walter and Vex to Morning Drive?
works for me....i like listening to walter, but haven't been able to as of late since i get out of work late, and with them moving the show to an earlier time slot....
haven't warmed up to the brothers yet, but there not doing a bad job....
and as for the Brick in the morning....i wouldn't mind it...at least the guy has a pulse, unlike van earl whatever....
