Mission Media Group which distributes content under the Sporting News Radio announced Sean Pendergast as the new host of the "Sean Pendergast Show," a national sports talk show running weekdays from 1 ? 4 p.m. Eastern Time. Pendergast's show will begin on the network on Monday, July 4, 2011. The show will replace Sporting News Radio's current show, The Two Live Stews. "We are fans of the Stews, but just felt the time was right to do something different with this daypart," said Gow. The Stews show originates out of the network's Atlanta affiliate, Sports Radio 790 The Zone, WQXI-AM.
"We think Sean is a special talent," said Mission Media Group's President, David Gow. "He currently hosts a local sports talk show in the Houston market, and he has a great track record. We've watched how he handles callers and drives his show, and we find him to be funny, intelligent, and entertaining. He is poised for the national stage."
