They move fast.

 

Very interesting. What are the other two jobs?

 

Web Developer and Advertising Account Manager ...

 

New York is definitely in the works. They hired Bonnie Bernstein to act as a co-host on the Michael Kay Show and announced that she'd be a contributor to the site. Also, they've got Ian O'Connor of the Bergen County Record as a contributor to Kay's show, so you'd have to think that they'd like to scoop him up (who knows if they'd succeed, but he'd certainly be a great get) and Andrew Marchand, a former Mets beat reporter for one of the tabs (the News, I think) as their "managing editor", too. So, the ball is certainly rolling for NY. ESPNNewYork.com already re-directs to the radio station Web site.

 

I'd have to think St. Louis would be an eventuality, although Fox Sports Midwest has things pretty much wrapped up here on the television side, broadcasting most of the Cardinals' and the Blues' regular season games. Still, the ESPN radio station here did acquire the rights to broadcast Rams' games, (Not that it's that much of a prize this season, but stilll...) so, I would think, in a traditionally good sports town like this one, ESPN would almost have to be keeping St. Louis in mind.

 

I'd say if there is an ESPN-branded radio station in the market, they have it in mind. That goes for any market.

 

Just came across this today while trying to dig up what ESPN's next step will be. Don't know if Comcast has much of a chance here . . .

More good jobs available.

 

Sirs, Madames,

A media site isn't credible if it uses "it's" as a possessive adjective.

Do any of you know where you send your resume for these ESPNChicago type sites? Thank you.
