Entercom has announced the talent lineup for Scal & Pals, which will air live each day from 11a-1p ET on the Radio.com Sports Digital Network starting September 23rd. The show will be co-hosted by Brian Scalabrine and Steve Ceruti, and be fully dedicated to NBA coverage. It will be offered live on both video and audio on Radio.com as well as on-demand audio wherever podcasts are found.
“We are excited to launch a digital show that will have mass appeal to all hardcore basketball fans,” said Mike Dee, President of Sports, Entercom. “The lineup of contributors headlined by Scal [Brian Scalabrine] will feature an interesting and entertaining mix of personalities and perspectives. We aspire to have this be the best basketball content fans can find anywhere and we are eager to engage with one of the most dynamic fan bases of any sport.”

He won an NBA championship with the Boston Celtics in 2008 and since retiring as a player, has been a television analyst for the Celtics, expanding on the cult-like following among NBA fans across the country he had as a player.
