Big Ten Media Deal, ESPN, Baylor Sexual Assault Claims, Speeding Up Baseball, Current Sports TV Preview, Jim Bibbs, and Throwback Thursday.

The sports media layout is changing. Discussions between the Big Ten and Fox Sports prompt Al and Isaac to look at the declining state of ESPN. Once the only imaginable "mothership" in sports, what has led to the precipitous fall? Then, Current Sports TV is on tonight! Al visits with a Michigan State and United States trailblazer for racial equality in Jim Bibbs, Michigan State's first African-American head coach. Current Sports radio teases that enthralling interview on the show. And you know how we end Thursday episodes, same as always with "Throwback Thursday."

Local journalism matters—and it’s at risk.


WKAR brings you trusted news, without barriers—no paywalls, no corporate spin. But now, federal funding that helps make it all possible is on the chopping block. Your support is more important than ever. Stand up for independent journalism in mid-Michigan—make your gift today.
