Cliff Saunders (Clifford Scott Saunders) is an American sports radio personality based in St. Louis, Missouri.[1] Cliff is the co-host of the St. Louis Rams Post Game Show on 101 ESPN (the flagship station for the team). He also handles morning and mid-day updates on the ESPN Radio affiliated station.
Saunders was born in New York City and attended Buffalo State College. After school he began working in sports talk radio as a producer and then host for WGR-AM in Buffalo, New York. He moved back to his hometown, where he was a stringer for the now defunct Sports Phone News Service.
While working at Sports Phone, he was hired as a weekend producer/board-operator/ production assistant at ESPN Radio. He moved up the ranks quickly, getting a job as producer for The Fabulous Sports Babe show on ESPN and then ABC Radio. Following that stint, he moved on to Sporting News Radio in Chicago.
After being released by SNR, he obtained a job with WSSP in Milwaukee, as a mid-day/ weekend host and the producer for former SNR colleague Peter Brown (who was doing 2-6p at the time). When Brown was released by the station in late 2006, Saunders' mid-day show was moved to afternoons.
In July 2007, Saunders was named host of Brewers On-Deck, an expanded pre-game show that is airing on WSSP.
In September, 2008, Saunders reclaimed his old mid-morning spot on WSSP, but this time, as a solo host. The following month, Saunders was let go in a budgetary move and replaced by the nationally syndicated Dan Patrick Show.
