610 is still the sports leader and have some good ass memories with everyone on that staff, the success and roller coaster was fun and I NEVER took a show for granted. Fun time to follow and talk about sports around here. I’m blessed and kinda basic for saying I’m blessed, lol."

Thursday, longtime afternoon host Rich Lord and morning host Mike Meltser were let go from the station. Locker says Meltser will take the bar exam in a few weeks as his twitter bio says he is a law student at UH.
