My post seems to have your username on it.

CRedskinsRule steals my thoughts and posts them all the time. It's eerie man. Shhhhh. He may be tuning in right now.

We've got a Red Zebra broadcasting station here in Virginia Beach, but I'm not sure it'll be here much longer.

Starting last week they replaced Steve Czaban's morning show with Mancow; now The Locker Room Show with Doc Walker and Kevin Sheehan is gone in place of Jim Rome, and the John Thompson show has been replaced by a FOX sports show with Chris Meyer. The only thing left is the Sports Reporters.

I think it may have something to do with football season being over, specifically the NFL draft. They did the same thing last year -- shifting to less Redskins-related shows. Plus, there's some dispute as to exactly how strong the Redskins are in this area.

It has a lot to do with football season being over, now that station (and others around the country) will use the "down time" to meet contractual affiliate demands. I would suspect heavy football programming (whether it's the same as last year or different) will return in the fall
