History[]
SC Radio launched on May 13th, 1992. Keith Olbermann hosted the first program. The top story that night was that Danny Tartabull signed with the New York Yankees as a free agent.
At first, SC Radio broadcast only on weekends. By 1996, it expanded to weekdays with a show hosted by The Fabulous Sports Babe, Nancy Donnellan. 1 hour of that show was simulcast on SportsChannel-2 (1:00-2:00 PM Eastern time). 2 years later, Mike Greenberg & Mike Golic were brought together for a new morning show, which still airs today (& is also simulcast on SportsChannel-2). By that time, Donnellan was gone & Dan Patrick replaced her. That show lasted until Patrick left SportsChannel in 2007.
Gradually, SC Radio added more dayparts & became a 24-hour service.
In 1995, SC Radio gained national radio rights to the NBA. In 1997, it gained the rights to MLB on national radio
