"In The Locker Room," Pittsburgh's first attempt at local sports talk during morning drive time, has been cancelled on Fox Sports Radio 970. The show, created by the hosts, former Steelers Tunch Ilkin and Craig Wolfley, had been on the air for almost two years from 7-10 a.m.
During that span, Ilkin and Wolfley bought the air time from Clear Channel, which owns Fox Sports Radio, sold the commercials and paid themselves. When Ilkin decided to leave the show, effective the end of this month, Wolfley asked Clear Channel to assume control of the broadcast.
"Friday was the last show," Wolfley said. "There's still a chance it could get kicked off again. I just don't know."
Although Clear Channel had indicated it wanted to stay with a local show in morning drive time, it is expected to run a network show at least in the immediate future in place of "In The Locker Room."
