Welcome To KSR

I'd like to welcome to you, the reader, to Knoxville Sports Radio, a website dedicated to giving the Knoxville sports market what it has needed for a long time.

A reality check.

A notice that bad sports radio will not be tolerated in this market any longer.

An enema from bad local sports hosts who know so little about sports that it is agonizing to even attempt to listen to it.

We (and I say we because I'm not the only one in this enterprise) are dedicated to shining a light on the idiocy of local radio hosts and callers, who are only capable of discussing one topic (Tennessee sports) and are capable of butchering that topic very badly ninety percent of the time.

There is some good sports radio in Knoxville, and we won't be shy in giving compliments when they are deserved. But, I'll go ahead and show my own bias, just in fairness to the place that is going to be our number one target. The final straw came when 99.3 decided to cancel the only national show in a 14-hour block of local programming, The Jim Rome Show, in favor of what is sure to be some more of the same callers, same opinions, and same old tired UT football takes. Already disenfranchised with the product of 99.3 (especially, the morning show), this act was the catalyst for the idea of a critical site about the Knoxville sports scene.

So now you have it. We'll try not to get personal with anyone, but if someone is offended because we are critical of their talent (or lack thereof), or because of their lack of knowledge, we have a simple suggestion:

Get better, or quit.

Either way, Knoxville benefits.

I don't know how often we'll be updating this site. The better the radio, the less we'll gripe, the worse the radio the more venom we'll have to spew.

If you have a suggestion, or if you would like to contribute to the site, drop some info in the comments section and we'll get back to you. We'll have an email address that we can be contacted at soon.
