Where to hear us:

How to be good sports radio caller/contributor:

We want your contributions through phone calls, emails and text messages. Here are the guidelines for each.

Phone Calls:

• Call us on a good clear phone line, land line is preferable over a mobile phone - if we cannot hear you we cannot use you.
• As Jim Rome says “Have a take and make sure that take does not suck”. Before you get a chance to go on the air with your comments, you will need to tell the call screener exactly what it is that you want to talk about. The call screeners are instructed to only put the best callers on-air and screen the rest out. If your take has already been heard on-air you will most likely get screened out.
• We want to get as many different callers on air as possible, so if you call often you may get screened out so we can give a few different callers their chance to be on-air 
• We want to get through as many callers as possible, so when you do get on the air don’t ask “how are ya doing?” – trust us, everyone is just fine. Just get straight to your take and we can get through more callers.

Emails:

• Click here to email the guys who are on-air now.
• The same concept as above applies – our email screeners are instructed to only pass along the best email comments to the show hosts and to screen out the less than worthy stuff.
• No “War & Peace” novels please, brevity counts. Obviously the more entertaining/opinionated/funny your email is the better the chance it will get read on air by the hosts.
• No attachments, you are welcome to send us the links to funny songs/guy getting hit in the junk videos etc. If necessary one of our show producers can always follow up with you if we need your song or whatever in a different format.
