About Big X Sports Radio 1450/96.1 WXVW
Big X Sports Radio 1450/96.1 WXVW treats this feed as a shelf for its airwaves. Each entry is one program, labeled by name and date, as in 'Sunrise with Scoots 04-17-26' or 'Ticket Punchers 04-17-26'. Scroll a single day and the lineup comes into view. Sunrise with Scoots is hosted by Justin Kalen, who answers to Scoots and runs the show up to eight o'clock in the morning. His rundown includes the scores: an extra-inning Nationals win over the Pirates, a Reds loss to the Giants in which Cincinnati managed a single hit, and a testy stretch after Spencer Steer was hit by pitches on back-to-back days. He wonders aloud whether Chase Burns, sharp through six innings, should have stayed in. Listener texts steer the conversation too, including one asking about a weekend of UFC fights. Run-In with Roman puts Roman Kelly and co-host Matt Childress on the afternoon shift. They game out the NBA play-in results that will set the eighth seeds, react to the Louisville Kings' first win of the season and follow the transfer-portal noise from social media and the Louisville fan base. Ticket Punchers turns the same slate into a betting card. The host and Curtis Phillips, known as Philly Picks, log each pick as a punch, weighing spreads, totals, alternate lines and player prop lines before signing off with a call to punch those tickets. An episode of Kentucky Roll Call opens with a montage of play-by-play calls and a coach declaring 'We are here to win banners.' Steven Peek and producer Matt then work through how the Kings won in overtime on a penalty, and why the rules still let that result stand. Just The Cats greets Big Blue Nation, with Michael Bennett, alongside Justin Kalen, inviting calls, texts and tweets. The programs overlap more than a schedule suggests. Kalen turns up on Just The Cats as well as his own morning show, the Ticket Punchers host cites a bet he made on Roman's program, and Childress mentions watching the Kings game downtown with Grant Skaggs, co-host of Three Man Front. Personal asides fill the gaps. Bennett talks up the Scenic Hill Stable hat, named for the street he grew up on, and a text from Kalen's brother about an e-break closes out a Friday morning. Sponsor reads run throughout, as they would on the radio. The broadcasts also reach viewers on YouTube and X, as the Ticket Punchers sign-off notes. Where to begin depends on appetite: Sunrise with Scoots for the morning scoreboard, Ticket Punchers for picks, and Kentucky Roll Call or Just The Cats for the Kentucky angle.
Made for: Suits a listener who follows Louisville and Kentucky sports and wants local radio talk on the NBA, NHL and MLB races, college transfer-portal news and betting picks, all available on demand.
What sets it apart: Instead of one show, the feed carries a station's whole roster of dated programs, and those programs refer to one another, so a morning scoreboard, an afternoon play-in debate, a betting card and a Big Blue Nation call-in show sit side by side.
