Three Guys on the Radio is a sports radio talk show starring Buzz (Tim Kilpatrick), Steve Warne and Stuntman Stu (Schwartz). It airs live for about three and one half hours each weekday from 5:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Eastern or whenever the email segment gets done. The show is produced in Ottawa, Ontario, and can be heard on the CFGO radio station in Ottawa, as well as on the Internet from the Team 1200 official website. Fans of the show are commonly referred to as TGOR Nation.
[edit] History of the show
Three Guys on the Radio began as the morning drive show on the Team 1200. The original cast of TGOR was Steve Warne, "Jungle" Jim Jerome, and John "J.R." Rodenburg hosting. Rodenburg and Jerome moved to the morning slot after the acquisition by CHUM Limited and rebranding of "Ottawa Sports Radio 1200" to "Sports Radio 1200 The Team".
Warne, self-proclaimed Mayor of Barrhaven, continues to be an anchor on the show. He's the local Valley boy who actually plays most the of the games he talks about. He is happily married to his wife Linda Warne, who also works for CTV globemedia at Y101 in Ottawa.
Rodenburg was the original host with Jim Jerome on the afternoon drive show on Ottawa Sports Radio in 1999. He now hosts the morning show on 93.9 BOB-FM and is back on the Team 1200 afternoon drive home show called "More-On Sports" with co-host and former NHLer Garry Galley.
"Jungle" Jim Jerome returned to Edmonton, to take over radio station K-Rock CIRK-FM, after doing TGOR out of his basement from December 13, 2005 to August 2006. Jerome's mother Barry Jerome, widow of former House of Commons Speaker James Jerome, still appears on Fridays to give her NFL picks of the week. Jerome's claim to fame is being a close friend of hockey icon Wayne Gretzky.
With Jerome moving on, the show moved from a broad focus, laced with sexual innuendo comedy, to more sports-talk-centric content. The show still contains reasonably immature sex themes, but less often and less over-the-top. After all, that could only be done justice by Jungle.
