The search for new leadership within the Detroit Pistons organization is a crucial step in shaping the future of the team, as explained by Free Press’ Detroit Pistons beat writer Omari Sankofa II. In a recent podcast of “The Pistons Pulse,” Sankofa delves into the details and implications of this process.
Aside from the Pistons’ search for new leadership, there are also exciting developments in the Detroit sports talk radio scene. Sports Rap Radio, a new radio format co-owned by former Free Press sports columnist Rob Parker, is set to debut on WXYT-AM (1270) on May 16. The lineup will feature several local voices as well as one longtime metro Detroit figure.
One of the local voices that will be featured on Sports Rap Radio is Lindsey Hunter, a former Detroit Pistons guard and member of the 2004 NBA championship team. Along with Montezz Allen, a Detroit native and former NBC affiliate in Georgia, Hunter will co-host a show called “The Pitbulls” which will air weekdays from 3-7 p.m. Another national radio show that will be featured is Parker’s “The Odd Couple,” co-hosted by Fox Sports pundit Chris Broussard, which will air from 7-10 p.m.
BJ Armstrong, a former NBA All-Star player and current player agent who is also a co-owner of the radio endeavor, will host his own show from 10 am to noon on weekdays. The noon to 3 pm slot will be covered by Martin Weiss, a Michigan graduate and Fox Sports Radio host, along with JR Gamble, a respected sports journalist. This new lineup promises to bring fresh perspectives and engaging discussions to the Detroit sports radio landscape.
