John Canzano will remain at Alpha Media Portland on 750 AM The Game, inking an extension with the outlet to continue hosting the syndicated program The Bald Faced Truth. The show currently airs on weekday afternoons from 3 to 6 p.m., one of two local programs in the station’s lineup. It’s also aired in Eugene and Klamath Falls.
“We are thrilled to announce our continued partnership with The Bald Faced Truth hosted by John Canzano on 750 The Game,” said market manager Lisa Decker in a statement. “John Canzano is key to 750 The Game’s success and longevity in Portland. He provides timely and in-depth content to our listeners with unparalleled access to key players, managers, and sports directors.”
“I’m thrilled with the momentum we have and love our team,” Canzano added. “We get the best guests and the in-depth reporting and commentary set the show apart, but more than anything, it’s three hours of fun. I love that the show serves as an escape for listeners.”
In addition to hosting his radio show, Canzano continues to write columns on his website and also engages in a subscriber chat to interact directly with fans. A former columnist for various newspapers, including The San Jose Mercury News, The Oregonian, and The Fresno Bee, Canzano was named the National Sports Columnist of the Year by the Society of Professional Journalists in 2010 and 2015. He is one of the authoritative voices on the Pac-12 and sports in the state.
“750 The Game is very fortunate to have John Canzano and The Bald Faced Truth as part of the team!,” said content director Keith Abrams. “He is the voice of truth regarding the Ducks, Beavers, Trail Blazers, the Pac-12, and all things sports!”
