Saga Communications has unveiled its 2025 financial results, and the company reported an overall revenue decline during the year.
During the entire year, Saga saw a 5.1% revenue decline, down to $107.1 million. Despite the overall revenue decline, the company saw a 19% increase in digital revenue. That sector rose to $16.9 million for the year.
Total operating expenses remained relatively flat for 2025 at $91.8 million. Part of that expense was tied to $2.2 million in a settlement with ASCAP and BMI over rate adjustments from 2022 through 2025. During the fourth quarter, Saga saw a $6.9 million loss tied to an impairment charge of $20.4 million. Without that charge — related to the evaluation of goodwill and FCC license values — the company would have reported $10.9 million in operating income for the quarter.
During the year, Saga saw an operating loss of $11 million, which contrasts with the operating income of $2.4 million in 2024.
In total, the company has $31.5 million in cash and short-term investments on hand, and projects capital expenditures of $4.5 million during 2026.

Eric Hosmer is adding another chapter to his baseball career, this time in front of the camera. The former World Series champion and four-time Gold Glove first baseman will join MLB Network as an on-air analyst, bringing a recently retired player’s perspective to the network’s studio coverage heading into the 2026 season.
Hosmer, who stepped away from playing in January 2024 after a 13-year major league career, will make his season debut on March 25 when he appears on MLB Central and MLB Now. Both programs will air in the lead-up to Opening Night, providing analysis and discussion as the new season approaches.
For Hosmer, the opportunity offers a natural transition into a different role within the sport that defined his professional life for more than a decade.
“I’m excited to join the MLB Network family,” Hosmer said in the network’s announcement. “Baseball has been such a huge part of my life for a long time, and joining the Network gives me the opportunity to stay connected to it in a new way. I’m looking forward to breaking down the game and sharing a player’s perspective on what it takes to compete at the highest level.”
Network executives believe Hosmer’s experience and personality will translate well to television. According to MLB Network Senior Vice President of Production Marc Caiafa, Hosmer demonstrated an ability to analyze the modern game while connecting with viewers during previous appearances.
“Eric Hosmer’s playing career speaks for itself with his championship résumé, and he was always a fan favorite of ours, showing a deep understanding of the game in his interviews,” Caiafa said. “During his time with us as a guest analyst last season, he always added to the conversation — whether breaking down his approach at the plate or sharing insight into the personalities of today’s game.”
Hosmer already has some television experience. Following his retirement, he appeared as a guest analyst on MLB Network in 2025 and also contributed to the pregame and postgame coverage surrounding Friday Night Baseball on Apple TV+. He is expected to continue that role during the upcoming season while also contributing to coverage on Royals.TV beginning in 2026.
The move into broadcasting keeps Hosmer closely tied to the sport after a decorated career that began when the Kansas City Royals selected him third overall in the 2008 MLB Draft. Hosmer quickly became one of the organization’s foundational players and helped lead the franchise’s mid-2010s resurgence, which culminated in the club capturing the 2015 World Series title.
During his time in Kansas City, Hosmer earned four Gold Glove Awards between 2013 and 2017 and also secured All-Star honors in 2016, a season that included winning All-Star Game MVP. After seven seasons with the Royals, he later spent five years with the San Diego Padres before shorter stints with the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs.
Across 1,689 career games, Hosmer compiled 1,753 hits, 198 home runs and 893 RBIs while establishing a reputation as one of the league’s most reliable defensive first basemen.

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show is currently heard on 89 affiliates across the nation.
The contract extension for Smiley comes before the launch of his podcast series Rickey Smiley On The Spot. Debuting on March 24th, the new series will include 35-minute episodes with conversations featuring some of the biggest names in music and entertainment.

Erik Bradley is expanding his role within Audacy after being named brand manager of 98.7 The Spot (KSPF-FM) in Dallas, placing the veteran programmer in charge of the classic hits outlet’s content strategy, on-air talent, daily operations and brand direction.
Bradley will add the Dallas post to an already sizable portfolio within the company, continuing to serve as brand manager of KS107.5 (KQKS-FM) in Denver while also holding responsibilities as assistant brand manager of B96 (WBBM-FM) in Chicago and director of music initiatives for Audacy.
The move reflects the company’s confidence in Bradley’s programming instincts and experience operating stations in competitive radio markets.
Audacy Dallas Senior Vice President and Market Manager Bob Mackay said Bradley’s track record developing successful brands and his familiarity with listener-driven music programming made him a natural choice to guide the station forward.
“Erik is a proven leader with an exceptional ear for music and a deep understanding of how to build brands that truly connect with listeners,” Mackay said in the company’s announcement. “His experience across some of the most competitive radio markets in the country, combined with his passion for this state, makes him the perfect person to lead 98.7 The Spot. We’re excited to see Erik elevate the station’s content, talent and brand moving forward.”
Bradley, who lives in North Texas, said the opportunity to oversee the Dallas station carries personal meaning as well as professional significance.
“It’s an honor to be trusted to lead DFW’s 98.7 The Spot here in my home of North Texas,” Bradley said. “I’m bullish about the future of The Spot and all that our incredible Audacy team is doing. Sincere thanks to all of my treasured and valued co-workers for their continued leadership and mentorship.”
The appointment continues a career spanning more than three decades in radio programming, promotions, and music direction. Bradley has gained extensive experience across multiple formats and markets. He has also built strong relationships throughout the industry.
He began his career in 1988 at WCKZ-FM in Charlotte, where he eventually rose to music director in 1991. Shortly afterward he moved to KBEQ-FM in Kansas City, serving as music director before continuing his programming career in Chicago.
In 1993 Bradley joined WBBM-FM, one of the city’s most prominent radio brands, and years later expanded his influence within the market when he also took on music director responsibilities at WBMX-FM in 2017. His career trajectory eventually led to a leadership position in Denver, where he became brand manager of KQKS-FM in 2024.

The possibility of the NFL adding another standalone game to its calendar is already drawing criticism from some corners of sports media. During Wednesday’s edition of The Valenti Show with Rico on Detroit sports radio station 97.1 The Ticket, host Mike Valenti reacted sharply to reports that the National Football League could stage a regular-season matchup on the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving as soon as the upcoming season.
For Valenti, the concept represents yet another example of the league stretching its schedule in the pursuit of additional television inventory and revenue.
“Just make it stop,” Valenti said on the program. “It’s not funny. I’m just done. Like, is there no limit to the greed?”
The NFL already dominates the sports television landscape with games spread across multiple days of the week throughout the season. In addition to its traditional Sunday slate, the league currently features a prime-time Monday night package and a Thursday night series.
Holiday programming has also become part of the schedule, with the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys hosting annual Thanksgiving games for many years. The NFL also stages occasional matchups airing on Christmas Day. However, Valenti argued that football’s appeal historically stemmed from its place within a predictable weekly routine.
“Football is great because it was developed on Sunday — a day that old school, everyone was home,” Valenti said. “You either went to church or you went and got bagels on a Sunday morning. You had Sunday and you had football.”
While he acknowledged that certain schedule expansions over the years have become part of the modern NFL landscape, Valenti suggested the league may now be approaching a tipping point.
“I understood Monday night’s a thing,” he continued. “Hey, we’re going to do Thursday. Lions have our tradition. They’re going to play on Thanksgiving. Look, I’ll live with a lot. Once a decade, games end up on Christmas Eve. Fine. You can play Saturday night. I get it. It’s the holidays. Look at what this has become.”
The Wednesday-before-Thanksgiving window has become an attractive television slot across the entertainment industry, often drawing significant audiences as families begin gathering for the holiday weekend. For the NFL, another national broadcast window would represent additional programming inventory for media partners or a potential streaming package.
That possibility also drew criticism from Valenti, who suggested the league continues to prioritize new distribution deals over the viewing experience for fans.
“I’m tired of it,” Valenti said. “It’s ruining something I love so much. There’s no need for it. Nobody wants it. Nobody asked for it.”
Valenti also speculated that if the league ultimately adds the game, it could become another exclusive broadcast tied to a digital platform.
“And you know what they’re gonna do?” he added. “They’re gonna sell that game for 150 million bucks to some knockoff stream provider. And it’s gonna be another thing that [producer] Kenny’s got to pirate and we got to buy. It’s just nonsense.”
The NFL has not announced any formal plans to add a Wednesday game, though discussions about expanding holiday-week programming have surfaced periodically as the league continues exploring new media opportunities.

The tradition of Opening Day in baseball carries a weight that stretches well beyond the first pitch of a new season, which is why the news that the New York Yankees’ season opener will stream exclusively on Netflix has not sat particularly well with longtime Yankees television voice Michael Kay.
During a recent discussion about the announcement, Kay made it clear that the shift away from the team’s regional home at the YES Network represents a disappointing development where the local call will not be heard on Opening Day for Yankees fans.
“To be blunt, it sucks,” Kay said, according to Newsday. “It’s not ideal because Opening Day, there’s a special pageantry to it, pomp and circumstance.”
Netflix will exclusively stream the New York Yankees’ opener against the San Francisco Giants to kick off the company’s three-year media agreement with Major League Baseball signed last year. The agreement gives Netflix rights to the Home Run Derby and a share of MLB’s showcase regular-season games at special locations. That includes events such as the “Field of Dreams” game, “MLB at Rickwood Field,” and the new “MLB Speedway” matchup, which debuted last year.
The decision to exclusively showcase Opening Day away from Kay is not uncommon. Many clubs have had to do the same with national networks owning the moment over local calls. However, Kay’s frustration with the decision he says may dampen the Opening Day experience for Yankees fans.
“People look forward to pitchers and catchers, that’s number one, and then number two is Opening Day,” Kay continued. “I guess if I’m Netflix, I’d want the Yankees and the Giants, too, but I know that all of us at YES would rather have it.”
For decades, Opening Day broadcasts have served as a ceremonial start to the baseball calendar, combining introductions, crowd anticipation, and the emotional return of the sport following months without games. Because of that built-in pageantry, the assignment traditionally carries heightened significance for broadcasters who have spent years narrating a team’s history and connecting with its fan base.
Kay, who has called Yankees games on YES since 2002, has become synonymous with many of the franchise’s most memorable moments during the past two decades, developing a broadcast rhythm alongside analysts that has defined how many fans experience the team’s season.

Hall of Fame coach Tony Dungy confirmed Thursday that his long tenure with NBC Sports is coming to an end, acknowledging in a public message that the network informed him he will not return to Football Night in America when the 2026 NFL season begins.
Dungy shared the news in a statement posted to X, reflecting on his 17 seasons with NBC’s Sunday night pregame program while expressing gratitude for the relationships he built during his time on the broadcast. His message arrives shortly after reports surfaced suggesting the network plans to make notable adjustments to its studio coverage ahead of the upcoming NFL season.
“I have been informed by NBC that I won’t be back with FNIA this fall and it has given me time to reflect and also to look ahead,” Dungy wrote. “It’s disappointing news but I want to thank my NBC family for making the last 17 years so special. I’ll have lasting memories of my time there, especially with Rodney Harrison who has become a tremendous friend.”
Dungy joined NBC Sports in 2009 following a decorated coaching career that included guiding the Indianapolis Colts to victory in Super Bowl XLI and helping reshape the culture of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during the late 1990s.
His thoughtful analysis and measured delivery quickly became a defining element of Football Night in America, a program that has consistently ranked as the most-watched NFL pregame show on television.
Reports have indicated NBC executives have begun evaluating potential changes to the long-running broadcast, including the structure of the show and the overall size of the studio roster. According to reporting from The Athletic, the network has also explored taking the program on the road more frequently as part of an effort to refresh the presentation while maintaining the show’s established credibility.
Dungy’s departure represents one of the most notable shifts tied to those discussions. His presence on the show helped reinforce the analytical tone NBC often leaned on during its pregame coverage, particularly when breaking down coaching decisions, leadership dynamics and defensive strategy across the league.
Although the change marks the end of a long run with the network, Dungy indicated he views the moment as an opportunity to evaluate what comes next professionally and personally.
“God has always directed me in these moments and while I’m not sure what the next step will be for me—whether it will be in football, in broadcasting, or getting more involved in church and community outreach—I know God has plans for my life and I can’t wait to see them unfold,” Dungy wrote.
He also referenced a Bible verse that has long held personal meaning for him, citing Romans 8:28 and its message that “God works all things for His good for those who love the Lord.”
I have been informed by NBC that I won’t be back with FNIA this fall and it has given me time to reflect and also to look ahead.

There’s a question that doesn’t get asked enough in radio boardrooms, programming meetings, or one-on-ones between managers and their staff: Do you actually know what your employees want from you — and from your company?
It’s easy to assume the answer. It’s tempting to believe that a paycheck, a decent schedule, and a little praise now and then covers it. But the data tells a more complicated story.
Pew Research found that 49% of U.S. workers are satisfied with the amount of feedback they receive and the benefits their employer provides. That same study found that 44% are satisfied with the opportunities for training and developing new skills. Stop and sit with those numbers for a second.
Less than half. That’s it.
Yes, employees want to be paid more. They want clearer paths to promotion. Nobody’s arguing against that. Those things matter. But if you’re waiting for the budget to open up before you invest in your people, you’re already losing ground.
What are you doing right now — today — to make sure your employees feel heard? What’s your plan for ensuring they’re growing, learning, and getting better at their craft? If you don’t have a clear answer, that’s a problem worth addressing.
Feedback isn’t a quarterly event. It can’t be something that only happens when there’s an issue to correct or a contract to renew. The best managers in this business treat feedback like oxygen — constant, necessary, and life-giving.
Their people know where they stand. They know what’s working. They also know what needs work, and they don’t have to guess.
That kind of clarity builds trust. Trust builds loyalty. Loyalty builds teams that don’t fall apart the moment a competitor comes calling with a slightly better offer.
Think about the people on your staff who are genuinely excellent at what they do.
The ones who came in driven, stayed curious, and keep raising the bar. Do you honestly believe they got there by accident? Their talent didn’t just appear. It was developed — refined over years of intentional work, hard conversations, mentorship, and a desire to keep getting better.
Here’s the thing: they don’t want that growth to stop. The best radio employees aren’t looking to coast. They’re looking for an environment where they can evolve — where someone believes in their potential enough to invest in it.
That’s not an unrealistic ask. It’s actually a reasonable one.
So what’s stopping more leaders from delivering on it?
Some of it is time. Running a radio brand — or multiple brands — is genuinely demanding. It’s easy for development conversations to fall off the calendar when there’s a ratings book dropping or a morning show situation to manage. But “busy” can’t be the permanent excuse.
Some of it is also comfort. It’s easier to keep doing what you’ve always done than to build a culture that prioritizes growth and honest dialogue. Easier, yes. Better? Not even close.
Your top performers are watching how you treat the people around them. They’re paying attention to whether learning and development are genuine priorities or just talking points in a company all-hands. They notice when feedback is nonexistent — or only shows up as criticism.
Put an emphasis on this. Build regular feedback into your rhythm. Create real opportunities for your people to learn new skills, try new things, and grow beyond their current roles. Treat development as a core function of leadership — not a bonus feature.
It’s not just the right thing to do for your employees. It’s smart business. Better people produce better content. Better content builds better brands. And better brands grow better audiences.
The investment is real. So is the return. Your people want to grow. The question is whether you’re going to be the leader — and the company — that helps them do it.

The beginnings of professional wrestling date back to the late 19th century. What once was considered a variety act to spice up local strongman competitions has now turned into one of the most successful entertainment forms in the world. Yet despite its rise to prominence, many have never given the art form recognition among the other major sports in America. It has always carried a stigma because the outcome of the performance is staged, no matter how physical the performance may be.
With time, change happens. The stigmas surrounding professional wrestling have gradually subsided. Today, professional wrestling participates in many sections of sports media like any other sport. Busted Open Radio on SiriusXM was far ahead of the curve in recognizing the passion for professional wrestling coverage.
Formed in 2009, the program quickly built an audience and has grown into one of the more respected morning programs in radio today. That growth recently reached another milestone when Busted Open Radio became the first professional wrestling program to rank in Barrett Media’s latest national sports radio show rankings.
“It means a lot to us. When I started the show, I structured it around sports talk radio because I grew up on sports talk radio,” said Dave La Greca, host of Busted Open Radio. “The fact that it’s now being recognized up there with some of the best mainstream sports talk radio shows. It means a lot because that was the goal from the beginning.”
La Greca hosts the weekday morning show alongside a roster of Hall of Fame talent from the squared circle. Notable names such as Bully Ray and Tommy Dreamer co-host alongside La Greca, providing the wrestler’s point of view alongside the fan perspective.
Why Wrestling Works
The program features debate and discussion covering every aspect of the professional wrestling business. From storylines to headlines, Busted Open Radio provides the debate and analysis found on any nationally recognized sports talk program.
“I listened to sports talk radio growing up, but I was never a fan of sports talk on television,” explains Bully Ray. “When I came across Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless, what drew me in was the passion in which they spoke about everything. That’s the dynamic that me and Dave [La Greca] personally have and what I feel fans are interested in.”
While contributing to Busted Open Radio, both Bully Ray and Tommy Dreamer remain involved with wrestling promotions throughout the year. That access provides insights wrestling fans can’t get anywhere else.
“Our discussions are sports radio. We engage with our audience, and Bully and I are able to explain why fan ideas may or may not work,” explained Dreamer. “The business has been on fire. WWE did more money [revenue] than UFC in a quarter. The media rights are massive, and every platform is engaging. With Busted Open Radio, the fans now have a platform where they can come and talk about what they see.”
The business of professional wrestling is indeed strong. Last year alone, WWE generated $1.709 billion in revenue, a $311.3 million increase year over year. It marked a milestone year for wrestling, with interest and revenue also trickling down to other promotions looking to compete for a share of the professional wrestling pie.
Much of that revenue stems from the passion of wrestling fans around the world. With programming available nearly every weeknight, networks have also seen the impact that broadcasting professional wrestling can have.
“A lot of people in sports talk radio don’t understand how loyal of a fanbase we have with Busted Open Radio,” notes Bully Ray. “I remember people telling us our listeners only tune in for 7-8 minutes at a time. No, they don’t. I tell people our listeners are there for all three hours. I’ve been laughed at while saying that. Our show is not in the radio business; we’re in the pro wrestling business. Pro wrestling fans are loyal till the end and can’t get enough.”
Busting Through Mainstream
Last year, SiriusXM invested in that wrestling fan loyalty by launching the first 24/7 channel on the platform dedicated to professional wrestling discussion, Pro Wrestling Nation 24/7. The channel was a brainchild of Busted Open’s Dave La Greca, leveraging the power of social media and passionate wrestling fans to create a one-of-a-kind home for wrestling discussion any time, anywhere.
“If you’re listening to a national mainstream sports radio show, fans have their favorites. There’s no favoritism with professional wrestling,” said La Greca. “Wrestling fans want to consume as much content as possible, because there is no favoritism.”
Every weeknight features professional wrestling on television. Just like traditional sports, there is always something new to discuss the following morning on Busted Open Radio. With a fanbase this passionate and wrestling headlines consistently trending, the conversation rarely stops.
That raises the question of why more traditional sports radio programs haven’t embraced professional wrestling coverage in the same way Busted Open Radio has on SiriusXM.
“Some people still have a preconceived notion about professional wrestling. A lot of it revolves around the F-word, it’s fake. Well, it’s no different than your wife’s orgasm. Only she really knows,” says Bully Ray. “Wrestling is hotter, and always has been hotter, than just about any professional sport.”
With action taking place almost every night, every morning provides fresh material to discuss with the audience. No promotion is an outlier, although the biggest storylines still drive the conversation.
Passion Meets Connection
La Greca’s sports radio background gives him a clear understanding that fan interest ultimately drives the daily discussion.
That approach explains why Busted Open Radio connects with so many listeners across the country. The show focuses on what the audience wants while providing an escape from reality every weekday morning.
“Busted Open Radio has always brought people together even in times when we couldn’t be together,” says Dreamer referring to a Zoom meet up with listeners in 2020, which ended up crashing the server for the meet up itself. “It’s that connection. For myself, I used to get love for what I did in ECW [Extreme Championship Wrestling]. Now I get people who love listening to me on the radio. Dave La Greca and Busted Open gave me a whole new career, and something I never thought about doing.”
Success for Busted Open Radio is no different from any other sports radio program on the platform. A channel or show’s success begins and ends in the fans it brings in through paid subscriptions.
“We’re all very motivated. This was Dave’s vision from day one. It’s only grown into now cracking Barrett Media’s top 20 national rankings,” said Bully Ray. “We mean a lot to SiriusXM because people buy full subscriptions because they want to listen to Busted Open Radio… There are so many fans out there that have told SiriusXM executives if they get rid of us, they’re canceling their subscription. That’s loyalty and what keeps us going.”
The Next Show
What began as a show that was only supposed to air once a week has become something much bigger. Busted Open Radio now serves as a case study for how far professional wrestling has come, evolving from an outcast to a legitimate contender in the broader sports conversation.
“I have this motto on my wall. It says, ‘Be so good they can’t ignore you.’ That’s what I see last before turning on my computer to begin the day,” said La Greca. “Any bit of recognition was a win for us because at the beginning we weren’t recognized. For me, to see us rank on the Barrett Media list is probably the biggest recognition we’ve ever had since starting the show.”
For decades, professional wrestling fought for legitimacy in the broader sports conversation. Today, the industry is thriving. The voices covering it are finally being heard alongside the biggest names in sports media.
Busted Open Radio didn’t wait for that acceptance. It built its own lane long before the rest of the industry realized how passionate wrestling fans truly are.
Now, with a spot in the national sports radio rankings, the show stands as proof of something La Greca believed from the start: if you respect the audience and talk about wrestling with the same passion and seriousness as any other sport, the fans will show up.
