I am spoiled living in New York Area with WFAN and Mike Francessa. As a Yankees fan it is a great listen. I am looking for that same feel for the LA Rams. The Beast and Roggin seemed perfect as he talked Rams a ton. Now with the Beast gone I am looking for that local LA sports talk station to listen. I am anti ESPN so LA710 is a joke. AM 570 is more dodgers and I can look at Leann Tweedan but not listen to her. What are the best options until the Rams pick a radio home?

Where in the NY area are you?

I'm living in Fairfield, CT right now. But still spend much time in NYC.

Grew up in Hoboken NJ, but moved towards the shore. About an hour from NYC. More so in Eagles country but I get WFAN on radio and Yes network on my dish to watch the Yanks.

I keep turning on 980 by habit when i'm in the car and they've been running some canned show about the history of the station.

570 and 710 are pretty useless for me. I find i'm listening mostly to the Mighty 1090 in SD since they talk a lot of NFL.

Hopefully someone will fill in the void here in L.A. Once the Rams get a flagship station, that should help, they'll build a lot of programming around them...

Thanks Elvis! Ironically, back in the early 90's I use to listen to Lee Hacksaw Hamilton on the short wave. LOL!

I personally can't listen to local talk radio bc it gets annoying. You don't learn about other teams bc they only talk about local teams.

I listen to SiriusXM Mad Dog Radio and NFL radio. I pay 10 bucks a month but it's worth it. I get it in my car and on my phone.

It will be interesting to see what station becomes the flagship. The 2 most likely would be 570 (home of the dodgers and UCLA) or ESPN 710 (Home of the LAkers and USC). Other candidate might be 790 KABC (Home of the LA Kings). I do not think that 830 would be a choice as that is more an Orange county station (as the home of the Angels and Ducks) or it could be something weird like in San Diego where the home station is a FM Rock Station.

Damn you 980, It was the perfect match! If I was to guess, Im thinking ESPN 710 has the most money so will probably get the deal.

It would be ideal, i think, if the Rams go to a station other than 570 or 710 and then that new station can build their whole identity around being the Rams flagship station.

OTOH, if they do end up on 570 or 710, they'll become a lot more focused on the Rams because of it...

I think it would be best to go to a sports talk station for that very reason. Programming throughout the day will start to focus on the Rams. Regardless what station they go to, The Dodgers and Lakers are still going to be the main focus. It's going to take more than the Rams just showing up to knock them off the top. Once Rams talk starts to drive ratings, then you will see all stations start to up their Rams talk.
