Hello and welcome.

It's our number three, hour three of the radio show.

We talk about the downfall of a media empire.

When I was a kid, there was nothing bigger than newspapers and the sports section in newspapers.

Now I'm old.

I'm not that old.

And newspapers are near the end.

And the New York Times getting out of the sports business completely.

They're shutting down their sports department.

What is your position on the death of the New York Times sports section as they will shift over to the athletic, which they purchased last year.

And how can the L.A. Times Sports section operate without game stories

as they will have a deadline of 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

And why did the newspaper industry as a whole completely collapse?

It's one thing to go down a little bit, but they have completely gone into the, into the, the far blue yonder,

off in the distance.

We'll talk about all that and much more right now.

Here it is.

Enjoy hour number three.

The end of a sporting era.

Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mather's show.

We are in the air everywhere under the sheets.

As we hang out, it is a fiesta for your ears, coast to coast, border to border, and beyond.
