Pugs Moran Is Ready To Answer the Question, ‘What Happened to Live 105.3 FM?’

The state of terrestrial talk radio has de-evolved to a medium vastly dominated by sports talk and right-wing political pandering, says former Live 105.3 FM midday host Pugs Moran. 

“There’s no lane for lifestyle talk,” Moran says. “If you want to work in talk radio in America today, you have to be willing to talk about nothing but sports or support a right-wing political ideology. What Live 105.3 represented was an attempt by CBS Radio back then to do FM talk that wasn’t political or sports heavy. It was just regular talk radio.”
