John Auville, Eric Bickel, Jason Bishop, and John-Paul Flaim — also known as the Sports Junkies — have been a force to be reckoned with on morning radio in Washington, DC, since 1996. The Junkies are taking another stab at syndication, and starting January 29 will be heard on Sinclair’s Sports Radio WTAR-FM in the Norfolk-Virgina Beach market.
Westwood One syndicated The Sports Junkies from 1999-2002.
Bob Sinclair, owner of the Norfolk stations, said, “We are thrilled to bring the Sports Junkies to Hampton Roads and add them to our already stellar lineup. The show has been one of the best sports programs in the country for over 20 years and provides amazing coverage of the Redskins, Capitals, Nationals, Wizards, and more. And with so many of our listeners being fans of those teams, they will fit in perfectly here in the 757.”
“We’re excited to offer the Sports Junkies show to the audiences of great stations like Sports Radio 96.5 and 850 WTAR,” said Chris Kinard, Program Director, 106.7 The Fan. “This is a natural brand extension for the Junkies, who have amassed a large and loyal following on terrestrial radio, streaming, podcast, and television over nearly 23 years. We believe their show is a great fit for any sports station in the mid-Atlantic region.”
