John Gambadoro and Mark Asher have decided to end their 10-year run as afternoon sportstalk-show hosts for KGME (910 AM)
Gambadoro, Asher end 10-year run on XTRA 910
10 years is an eternity in sports talk radio. A feat not to be shrugged at.
The two made the announcement as they signed off the air Friday afternoon, saying they wanted to pursue other opportunities.After the show, Asher said the two had a clause in their contract that allowed them to opt out.
“We just kind of felt it was time to move on and explore other options,” Asher said. “It was a very tough decision.”
Maybe they just need a little break before dashing off to a competing station in the local market.
Never was a big fan of Gambo and Ash show, but for a great while, they were the only game in town, for sports talk radio. Others come and go, but they've been etched in that weekday afternoon slot for what seemed to be a permanent basis.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND GOODNITE
They have very little to offer other than off-the-wall criticisms of everything that isn't New York and attempts to say things that are so contraversial and ignorant that people listen only to hear a demonstration of ignorance and idiocy.
Not since KGME let Vince Murotta and his crew go, had I found a show on sports radio that was worth listening too... Bickley & MJ have a good show but, I hope they see the writing on the wall. Clear Channel seems to want the advertising dollars, but not the talent to keep people listening.
Typical New Yorker with that big YANKEE chip on his shoulder.
I hate the Yankees but he does have that great New York swagger--And Mark can spend more time with that gorgeous Bridget!!!
gambo could be overbearing and "only his opinion counts" , its the ny'er in him and mark was always the diplomat!!
one of their best qualities as a team was they could laugh at themselves!!
their replacement is a "joke", to use his mmost famous word. i will not be tuning in for that 1-3 slot or whatever time slot jacobs is holding down. how many times is he going to get fired for poor ratings anyway?
Looks like they are on 6-9pm slot on KTAR now.
