Cincinnati sports, after the final out.
Lance McAlister keeps Cincinnati sports moving with Reds scorelines, lineup notes, injury updates, caller energy, and postgame accounting. The show is strongest when baseball details spill into local memory, road-trip logistics, and the nightly pulse around 700 WLW.

Lance McAlister is Cincinnati sports talk with a working scoreboard beside it. The show moves fast. Reds baseball is the regular center of gravity, especially when a night ends with a postgame Extra Innings window and enough time for callers to pick through every swing, error, injury, and bullpen choice. A loss to the Brewers can turn into a roster update on Dane Myers, Ivan Johnson, and the next worry on the injury report. A win can become a long run through Sal Stewart’s home runs, franchise notes, and why an April start suddenly feels different. The show likes details. First pitches, road trips, draft-night remotes, weather, sponsor reads, and phone numbers all sit in the same stream as actual analysis. That gives it a lived-in radio texture rather than a clean studio capsule. The best segments connect the immediate game to a place or person, like Brandon Williamson’s return near Trimont, Minnesota, or the Joe Nuxall Miracle League parade route through Fairfield. Guests help widen the lens. Charlie Goldsmith brings Reds and Bengals reporting, while Tyler Bradshaw gives the community calendar a human center. Soccer gets real space too, with World Cup enthusiasm, a friendly at TQL, and talk of the U.S. men’s team alongside the usual baseball load. The show is local without being small. It can jump from Target Field to TQL Stadium, from Dickman’s in Fort Wright to historic Lunkin Airport, and still sound like the same Cincinnati night. Listeners get blunt reactions, quick clarifications, lineup facts, caller prompts, and enough memory-lane texture to make a routine game feel attached to a larger sports life. It is not polished minimalism. It is a busy desk, a live board, and a host keeping the next segment in view.
Made for: For Reds-first Cincinnati sports fans who like radio pacing, postgame reaction, caller energy, and local context. It also fits listeners who want Bengals and World Cup notes folded into the nightly rundown.
What sets it apart: The show’s edge is its dense local continuity: game analysis, town names, community events, callers, and WLW station rhythm all arrive together. It feels less like a national recap and more like Cincinnati sports being sorted in real time.
