RALEIGH, N.C. – Monday, December 1, 2008:  

Legendary sportscaster Dan Patrick joins 850 The Buzz – WRBZ, the Triangle’s top rated sports talk radio station, weekdays from 10 a.m. until Noon.  Patrick made his mark during an illustrious career at ESPN with his direct interview style and dry wit as a reporter, anchor and radio talk show host.  In 2007, after 18 years with ESPN, Dan Patrick joined The Content Factory. 

620 The Bull - WDNC will feature brothers Doug and Ryan Stewart and their show “Two Live Stews” weekdays from 1p.m. to 3 p.m.  “Two Live Stews” is a syndicated sports talk radio show from Atlanta that has gained the attention and notoriety of listeners throughout the nation over the last few years.  The Stewart brothers focus on bluntly telling the truth, and encouraging guests and callers to do the same.  Their unique style paid off in 2005, when they were named “Air Talent of The Year” by ESPN.

“We are extremely pleased to be able to offer ‘The Dan Patrick Show’ and ‘Two Live Stews’ to the Triangle,” said Brian Maloney, General Manager of McClatchey Broadcasting.  “Dan Patrick is without a doubt one of the biggest names in sports media and the Stewart brothers offer wide open, upbeat and head-turning entertainment.  Both shows are great compliments to our local programs.”
