Three veteran sports radio hosts from 710 ESPN Seattle have been laid off as part of the company’s larger cost-cutting measures, prompting another shake-up to the station’s talk-show lineup. John Clayton, Jim Moore and Tom Wassell were informed Thursday that they were being let go. SEATTLE TIMES
710 Sports Layoffs Announced
Suggestion to KIRO 710: Change format to Country Gold until covid19 is under control. Current ratings are terrible, so why not try it. I would listen out of sheer curiosity.
Was Clayton the older-sounding dude that would provide incidental commentary on the Seahawks game-day coverage?…He seemed so intelligent with his reporting…Then again, what does intelligence have to do with radio sports broadcasting?…It is mostly old jocks, talking with more old jocks!
Yes, former Tacoma News Tribune reporter covering the Seahawks beat for many years.
Why save the new guy in the morning? He is not good. Instead get rid of the older guys, who by the way are truly from the area.
It’s a shame, but I know all three are super talented and will land on their feet.
Maybe 710 ought to expand “The Outdoor Line” to 3 hours & have “Seattle Sports Saturday” go from 9-Noon. I hope management at the station is reading this.
