United Stations Radio Networks debuts its first long-form sports talk show, The Final Lap Weekly, extending the brand of its short-form feature "The Final Lap With Kerry Murphey." Murphey and veteran NASCAR writer Toby Christie will co-host the new one-hour weekend show starting with the weekend of June 2-3.
The Final Lap Weekly will be, USRN said, an "all-purpose NASCAR racing talk show," with the week's racing news, recaps, and previews, along with interviews with drivers and other NASCAR personalities. Listeners will be invited to engage with the show via social media and the show's website at www.thefinallap.com -- the weekly show began as a podcast on the site.
"2012 has been another solid year for NASCAR racing, with TV viewership and track attendance both up," USRN EVP/Programming Andy Denmark said. "At the same time, Sports radio is growing exponentially, so we felt it was a great time to bring a new long-form racing talk show to the airwaves. Kerry Murphey is a proven winner, his team covers the sport like no one else, and this is a great brand extension for Kerry and The Final Lap."
