Abstract

This chapter focuses on prominent sports talk-radio shows with local or small-regional markets, The Afternoon Sports Beat, The Dynamic Duo, and The Total Dominance Hour. It provides insight into additional facets of sports-talk radio’s participation in the hyper-mediated marketplace of sports narratives, documenting how relentlessly and indefatigably many participants will press forward with those narratives that they insist most accurately impose what social meaning they contend should be taken from the sporting developments under discussion.
