Nashville’s 102.5 the Game is turning special event programming into a weekly series this hockey season. Smashville Live will be part of the station’s Wednesday night lineup, which is dedicated to coverage of the Nashville Predators.
Smashville Live is hosted by Braden Gall, the station’s morning co-host, and also features Predators radio analyst Hal Gill. In previous seasons, the show aired only a select number of times throughout the regular season when various Nashville Predators players were available for interviews. This season, the weekly show will feature a rotation of Predators players, executives and alumni, as well as local celebrities joining Gall and Gill at bars and restaurants around Nashville. The first episode of the 2019-2020 season will premiere on Oct. 2 and features Predators General Manager David Poile and Assistant General Manager Brian Poile.
“To be able to team up with the Predators and deliver even more unique content on a weekly basis is a big win for us,” ESPN 102.5 The Game’s Program Director Ryan Porth said in a press release. “Smashville Live has been wildly popular in recent years and we’re excited for it to be bigger and better than ever before. We have a lot of great plans in store that will get fans excited to interact with the show every week.”
