The ATL now has three Sports Talk Stations

Atlanta sports fans have a new choice for news and information about their favorite sports teams. 92-9 The Game (WZGC-FM) features locally produced programs hosted by familiar Atlanta voices, along with headline updates every 20 minutes and a full lineup of NFL and college football play-by-play coverage.

Former Atlanta Falcons OL Jamie Dukes

"Opening Drive" is the morning show at the station with NBA-TV host Rick Kamla, along with three-time Super Bowl champion and CBS Sports analyst Randy Cross and former Atlanta radio host CJ Simpson.

Among other notable host are former NFL player and NFL TV host Jamie Dukes who can be heard during the midday shift and former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kordell Stewart.

No word on if former 790 The Zone hosts 'The 2 Live Stews' (Doug and Ryan Stewart) will join the station after their non-complete clause has expired sometime in 2013.

The AJC columnist Rodney Ho has more on the transition from 92.9 DAVE FM to the new 92-9 The Game.

• Gayle King and Charles Barkley are finalizing a deal that would have them jointly lead a primetime hour each week on CNN, according to people familiar with the matter and multiple news sources. The pact is not complete and there is always the risk it may not come to fruition, one of these people says. CNN declined to make executives available for comment.

KBLA ‘Talk 1580’ strongly believes in enlightening, empowering and encouraging tomorrow’s reporters, editors and potential talk radio hosts. Hopefully, our scholarships make a difference.”

• WLBT anchor and meteorologist Barbie Bassett is no longer with the Jackson, Miss., NBC station after racially insensitive comments. In early March, Bassett was speaking with her fellow anchors on air about Snoop Dogg’s latest business venture, Snoop Cali Blanc, a new wine in his wine label. In response to a comment about putting a Snoop Dogg tattoo on her shoulder, Bassett said, “Fo shizzle, my nizzle.” Bassett is white. Charlamagne tha God defended Bassett as he discussed the situation on The Breakfast Club. “She might be old. She probably has no idea nizzle is a derivative of the N-word. That’s not a fireable offense. I hope she sues.”
