I know. I know. Any station that will have me on - even sparingly, and tucked away on the weekends - has lots of room from improvement, right?
Well, 105.3 The Fan just got better.
In the coming weeks expect the announcement that The Fan is the new flagship radio home of the Dallas Cowboys.
As for today, it's the new home of Channel 5 sports anchor Newy Scruggs and former ESPN analyst Sean Salisbury. The two will pair for a midday show beginning sooner rather than later.
Patrick MichelsJosh Hamilton's repaired abdominal muscle passed its first test, and Rangers fans breathed a sigh of relief.The Texas Rangers' offensive woes are almost laughable now as the team last night fell two and a half games back of the Angels, losing 5-2 to Los Angeles after taking a 2-0 lead in the third inning on solo homers by David Murphy and Marlon Byrd. That's a total of just five runs for Texas in its last three games -- all losses, by the way -- which, of course, is why Patrick an
As Barry Horn mentioned about an hour ago, as of this afternoon Ben and Skin are no longer your drive-time hosts at 105.3 The Fan.
After almost a year of station name changes and philosophical tweaks, in the end their unconventional show - heavy on basketball and hip-hop and unique guests - didn't mesh with the direction of The Fan.

*Lots of you asking for a breakdown of the latest Arbitron PPM radio ratings for July. Not worth a separate item these days because - yawn - The Ticket's dynasty just rolls on. Dunham & Miller and The Hardline have the equivalent of four-touchdown leads in morning and afternoon drive. The battle for No. 2, however, just got interesting. While The Ticket (No. 1 in the market) still dominates
Sean SalisburySean Salisbury was not -- no way, no how, no sir -- fired from The Fan 105.3 for "sexting." At least, that's what Richie wrote on September 11 about his former radio-station teammate. Gawker Media-owned Deadspin, which has been obsessed with the Frisco resident's Salisbury steak for a long time, insisted otherwise, and so began a lengthy, riveting back-and-forth with the former NFL journeyman QB-turned-ESPN analyst.Late Friday, the McKinney Courier-Gazette provided the lat
Say what you will about former ESPN analyst and 105.3 The Fan host Sean Salisbury - and Deadspin says a lot - the guy has followed through on his promise to take on a blogdom giant in an attempt to clear his name and clean his reputation.
According to the Frisco Enterprise, Salisbury - who departed The fan back on Sept. 11 - filed a defamation lawsuit against Gawker Media up in Denton County.
Sean Salisbury, a Frisco resident and former National Football League quarterback, filed a peti
