July 18, 200422 yr Starting Wednesday on 1400-AM. Miami Herald article: Jim Rome and Tony Bruno won't be off the air locally for long. All-sports station 1400 The Fan said Friday it has agreed to carry both of their shows as part of an affiliation deal with Fox Sports Radio that begins next Wednesday. WRFX-940 dropped Rome, Bruno and other Fox programming when it shifted last week from all-sports to liberal talk. Also, Channel 10 sportscaster Frank Forte -- who recently began a noon-to-2 p.m. show with Bruce Warner on 1400 -- will shift to the station's morning show, with Carl Foster and Anita Marks, beginning next week. 1400's new lineup, beginning Wednesday, will feature Foster, Forte and Marks from 6 to 9 a.m., Bruno from 9 a.m. to noon, and Rome from noon to 3 p.m. Bob Page, who now hosts a 10 a.m.-to-noon show, will host the 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. slot with Warner. Dino Costa had been the host during that time period. WQAM, which carries Sporting News Radio programming on late nights and weekends, also was interested in carrying Fox programming but couldn't commit to airing Rome and Bruno.

July 18, 200422 yr Costa fired after The Fan juggles lineup By Jim Sarni Staff Writer Posted July 17 2004 The South Florida sports-talk landscape is changing again. One week after the format change of WRFX (940-AM) from sports to liberal talk, WFLL The Fan (1400-AM) is shaking up its lineup. Coming: The Tony Bruno (10 a.m.-noon) and Jim Rome (noon-3 p.m.) syndicated Fox Sports Radio shows that previously aired on WRFX. Moving: Frank Forte to the Morning Bullpen (6-10 a.m.), where he joins Carl Foster and Anita Marks; Bob Page and Bruce Warner, Forte's former partner, to late afternoon (3-6 p.m.) Fired: Dino Costa, who decided to leave instead of being paired with Warner. "I felt that adding a co-host would drastically change the format of my show," Costa said. "I have no hard feelings. I wish the station the best of luck." Costa, who was making an impression with his strongly opinionated 2-6 p.m. show, plans to explore options in the South Florida market. Costa previously worked in Jacksonville and Denver. The Fan is also expected to pick up the Monday Night Football and Sunday NFL games. Copyright ? 2004, South Florida Sun-Sentinel
