Sportswriters on TV
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sports Writers on TV was a sports talk show produced by the Chicago-based SportsChannel and syndicated to most of the other ones across the SportsChannel America network. Bill Jauss, Bill Gleason, Ben Bentley, Lester Munson, and Rick Telander were the usual writers discussing the sports issues of the day, and the show was a forerunner of many of the sportswriter TV shows that are much more common now (The Sports Reporters, Pardon the Interruption, Around the Horn, etc). The show also featured occasional conversations with Bill Veeck and Billy Corgan.
The show was a video adaptation of The Sportswriters, a long-running radio program on Chicago's WGN.
