    More changes at WOAI, Ticket
    It's becoming the favorite dance at S.A. radio stations WOAI and its sister station, KTKR, The Ticket 760: We call it the sports shuffle.

    Here are the latest moves: Walter Pasacrita will follow in the footsteps of former co-host Jeff Vexler and become history on The Ticket's local afternoon show, "Sports Talk San Antonio." His last day on the 3-to-6 p.m. talk program will be Oct. 19.

    That's where the Vexler-Pasacrita similarity ends, however.

    While Vexler exited, Pasacrita's sports role at the bigger outlet of WOAI will expand: Not only will he continue doing the morning sports reports for "San Antonio's First News" with Charlie Parker, but he'll take on a new duty: handling the post-Spurs game reports, once the season begins. Some insiders term the new gig a move up for Pasacrita.

    Meanwhile, a new voice will be heard on "Sports Talk San Antonio," starting Oct. 22. Sliding into Pasacrita's well-worn chair will be Mike Taylor, formerly of Dallas' KESN (ESPN Radio 103.3.). Taylor also will handle the pre-game Spurs show, formerly manned by the Thompson Brothers before they left S.A. radio to get into the online gaming/talk show business in Orlando.

    It's the first big hire from outside the station under the watch of new WOAI/KTKR program director Peter Bolger. He couldn't rave enough about Taylor, saying, "He's very lively, very Texas."

    Oh, and those who miss the wry sports musings of WOAI-TV sportscaster Don Harris and David Chancellor on WOAI radio may be in luck. As you know, the TV and radio stations will soon be under different umbrellas -- Clear Channel sold its local TV arm to Providence Equity Partners and I'm told the deal is just about final.

    Though the synergy between the stations won't be as prevalent, Bolger said he's hoping that managers can get together on getting Harris and Chancellor back on WOAI radio in some capacity. Stay tuned.

    When will he sleep?

    Seriously, if he has to do the early morning reports and then Spurs postgame reports, that's a long day. Maybe he sleeps in the middle of the day (unless he has other duties then).

    Hopefully he'll be good. A bad person with no sidekick would suck

    The Ticket needs a weekly NASCAR show. I nominate Dawn.

    I listened to 760 for a couple of weeks when my truck was in the shop and I had a rental and it sucks. I don't know how anyone can listen to that annoying all the time. I don't care what changes they make, it will always suck.

    If he's going to do Spurs pre-game, he'd better demonstrate some good Spurs knowledge (and no Mavs' homerism) pretty quickly or he's going to get crucified by the locals.
