Tony B. Booted By 1180 AM

He does a good job with basketball, but in terms of his football commentary, he's wrong more than he is right. I'd like to see Seth get a show, maybe with Steven Pearl for Tony B's slot. Or maybe Extend Ainge an hour and start Treece an hour earlier as well.

If you guys like tony b, email TSR and let them know. I mean if you guys get the train going on it, they might change their mind if there is enough support.

Come on you can't tell me Tony's show was better than the Ainge or Swain show or even Treece for that matter.

I didn't listen to him much but his show never seemed as informative to me the way the other TSR shows are.

Its much better than Ainge show IMO; the Swain event and Treece show aren't even worth mentioning imo.

Basilio never prepared for a show and brought very little insight to anything. His shows normally consisted of attacking a UT coach and then letting the same 8 or 9 callers call in and agree with his madness. Good riddance to the Dollywood of Sports Talk.

I had a feeling this was coming. I don't get to listen much except when I travel. I have listened to a few Sunday shows with that guy who does the made up characters and people were calling in and trashing the station and the owner. Then making it worse the hosts were backing them up, not good radio.

Just me, I enjoy the mornings and afternoons much better on 1180, but again, I don't get to listen that much so my opinion is not that important.

I'm really surprised they ate given ng him another month, if that's accurate. In radio, you're usually escorted out immediately after they tell you your fate.

This news is so next level! Nothing against Tony and I wish him well moving forward. Since discovering the app last fall, I gave them all a chance, but after a couple of months, I couldn't handle Tony's shtick. It's really bad radio.

Station wise, they can't be running one big promotion 10 hours a day and have the mid-day guy running his own contests.

Good move, Jay-Bay.

Tony had a good show but it did not fit with the other shows. I love hearing from former TN players. I agree with the move for this reason alone.

This. I like Basilio, but I hope we get someone on who knows more of what they're talking about.

Finally someone with sense. I don't know what these so called Tony apologists are listening too. Entertaining and thought provoking? Really?

Maybe he can shoot doc, jeff, and heather out of the saddle and replace that joke of a show on the Sports Animal.

Not going to happen. Want to know why? Not only does doc host that show, but he's the Program Director for the entire station! Which means, and I can guarantee you this, Doc, Jeff, Hyams, and Henderson will be on-air until they decide to retire. I know this for sure.

Or until someone buys the station and decides to make it more profitable.

I'm sure Marlon Walls is crushed that the guy who told everyone on his blog that Walls is the one that hit and kicked the Cumberland cop, the police knew it, and he should turn himself in, was fired.
Eff Tony B and his ilk of bs that bleeds over and infects others.

TB will be back.

He wasn't employeed by Jay Bay and 1180. He had purchased airtime from the station for years. Jay Bay purchased the station a couple years ago and allowed Tony to continue to purchase airtime.

JMO, but I'd guess that Jay Bay wasn't profiting off Tony's show like he is the others, and he feels he can fill that slot with a show and make more money.

No....if the station was doing a big March Madness event or giveaway at Calhouns or whatever, Tony would be promoting his own tv giveaway sponsored by Hardee's or something.

I know he's a clown but I love his show. I'll listen to him wherever he lands
