Xtra Sport 1360 AM

Since this radio station started up about two years ago I always rooted for it to succeed. The San Diego sports radio market really needed a better alternative to XX Sports Radio. Unfortunately, things never took off as far as market share, though I stayed on as a listener.
Right now, the station’s programming is mostly syndicated sports radio (Fox Sports), but there are a few home grown shows.
The current lineup (subject to layoffs).
Dan Patrick Show — National show that I’m not really interested in listening to. Dan Patrick tempers his criticism of high profile athletes so that he can interview them again at a later time (Tiger Woods for example). He also talks about ESPN too much.
Chris Ello — Been around in San Diego Sports Radio for ages. I like listening to him, though the time slot is brutal. He’s usually on point with his opinions and commentary.
Myers & Hartman — You know Myers from Fox Sports, and Hartman is no stranger to San Diego airwaves or XTRA. At first I didn’t like listening to this show because it was basically «Lakers Talk». Now, the show is called «The launching pad». The first hour is the best in my opinion as Myers and Hartman bring in a few guests who QUICKLY get opinions out there on the RELEVANT sports topics of the day. What makes this show work is Myers and Hartman are polar opposite in their opinions and play off each other brilliantly. Hartman is a complete reactionary and Myers plays the conservative apologist.
Great show to listen to while eating lunch in your car.
The Drive with Josh and Jeff.
— I flip back and forth between these guys and Hacksaw (on XX Sports). It’s a good show, though it lacks some flair.
Tony Bruno and JT the Brick. Both Syndicated.
These are both good radio hosts. It would be nice if the station had more local programming though.
