Nevada grads debut sports radio show

The sports radio air-waves invited two Nevada graduates yesterday on 1450 AM
Chris Ciarlo and Ben Deach can remember their weekly sports radio show on Wolf Pack Radio.
On Monday, they got their chance at the next level.
The two debuted a sports radio show on Fox Sports Radio 1450 AM and have a three-month contract with the station. The Monday-Friday, hour-long show starts at 8 a.m.
“It went pretty good,” said Ciarlo, brother of Nevada second baseman David Ciarlo. “It’s hard to believe it’s off and running.”
In Monday’s show, the two grads discussed the San Jose Sharks hockey team, Wolf Pack baseball, NBA playoffs and the Kentucky Derby.
“We also ripped on Ben and how he doesn’t have a girlfriend,” Ciarlo said.
The show will dive into Wolf Pack sports and national sports, but the difference with this show is that it will also discuss life matters.
“We want to mix in non-sports-related stuff,” Deach said.
The show will have segments where callers and e-mailers can do “quick rants,” on “What bugs you Wednesday.”
The show will also have interviews with coaches and players, both local and national, and guest round table discussions with other media.
Ciarlo said they are trying to get interviews with Nevada men’s basketball coach Mark Fox, Galena basketball player Luke Babbitt, Nevada baseball coach Gary Powers, former Nevada baseball player and San Diego Padres third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff and former Nevada basketball player and Los Angeles Clipper Nick Fazekas.
Deach graduated from Nevada last May and Ciarlo will graduate May 17, both with degrees in journalism.

Wow! I listened this morning and what a wonderfully fresh show… both Deach and Ciarlo exude confidence and sports knowledge well beyond their years. As far as mixing things up with real-life anecdotes… it’s a brilliant way to connect and keep us entertained. I can’t wait to keep tuning in! These guys have a bright future in sports broadcasting…
