It appears Steve Dennis got fired from ESPN 103.3

Hmm.. I guess he might be moving Radio stations eh? I do think Dennis sometimes can be a tool, but really, it should be two host show not one. But I only listen to sports stations only during Football season anyway.

And I really dislike Ticket, other than their Jerry Jones show/Troy Aikman show bits on D&M show. Their Humor usually is crappy, since they try in vain to copy Howard Stern, with little luck. Well other than their sometimes good bits of immiatating Athletes etc.

they decided they could make Hate a star solo.
there was never any chemistry there. something or someone had to give.

If that's the plan, the ratings must be suffering badly as a result of going up against Hitzges...and anything else on the radio for that matter. JFE is atrocious. And seems to actually be getting uglier, to boot. Maybe they should just play the ESPN satellite feed at that time.

Steve,

What happened to your ESPN 103.3 gig?

I was surprised to see they have turned the show from a somewhat
balanced view of things to the completely one sided, anti Cowboy lead
of Galloway and those yahoo's.

Anyway, I'll still catch you on the TV with 11.

Just wondering what happened.

Thanks,
Jay

Yay, maybe he will be back on GAC and Esteridge and his unfunny idiot self will be canned! I'd better start the e-mail campaigning.

And Hate needs a sidekick, few people can carry a show by themselves, she's not one of them and in her case she works best as a sidekick, not a lead host.

So nobody knows anything still?

Does he have his own personal email?

Little Ball of Huh?

Today’s sign of the apocalypse: Airing now on ESPN 103.3 FM, The new Little Ball of Hate Show. What earlier this week was a decent and maturing Dennis & Engel combo has abruptly deteriorated into a one-woman act with the surprise firing of Steve Dennis. The 9 a.m.-noon slot on ESPN Radio will now be filled solely by Engel because station management reasoned that Dennis was somehow muffling her stardom.

“I got the boot, swift and hard, at 12:05 Tuesday,” says Dennis, who was at the station for 18 months and partnered with Engel for a year. “But I’m thankful for the opportunity to get into sports talk radio, and I hope I get another chance in the near future.”

Considering the show was in its relative infancy and that it was going head-to-head with Ticket radio legend Norm Hitzges, ratings were rapidly improving. As, seemingly, was an entertaining chemistry between the two stubborn personalities. But–hey, we can only shrug–ESPN Radio management is convinced Engel is the next Leslie Visser.

Earlier in her show today Engel opened the phone lines and invited listeners to call in with their Cowboys predictions. If you’re fascinated that “Joe in Garland” thinks Dallas will go 12-4, it was riveting radio. Engel will continue to get on-air support from homogenized voices Mike Taylor, Randy Myers and R.J. Choppy, who last Sunday highlighted a score update with: “The Rangers and Indians are well under way in their game out at Ameriquest Field.”

Though the 9-12 universe now belongs exclusively to his former sidekick, Dennis could return to the station in a lesser role. Says Dennis, “Hey, I’m open to all things.” Don’t cry too long for Dennis, who’ll be in Jacksonville this weekend covering the Cowboys for his other job. –Richie Whitt

Radio is a volatile business with less than brilliant individuals calling the majority of the shots. The truth hurts ouch.
