The Great Lakes Forum and The Ville Podcast look to improve Thursday ratings on Sports Radio America.

Louisville, KY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/25/2016 --Thursdays are going to be "lock and listen" as Sports Radio America adds two very entertaining shows to accompany their flagship syndicated program, 'Sunday Gridiron'.

"We are highly selective of our exclusive programming on Sports Radio America," notes GM Ayokunle Spencer. "The Detroit market and New York market are traditionally 2 of the top 10 US radio markets. It is imperative to thoroughly saturate these markets with quality regional programming. These two shows have been hand picked out of numerous of submissions. We believe the addition of these two particular shows should continue to push Thursday listenership into the tens of thousands, and improve our affordable sales inventory for both markets."

Here is the NEW Thursday line up starting June 2nd:

All Times Eastern -

Noon - The Great Lakes Forum

3pm - The Ville Podcast

7pm - Sunday Gridiron

9pm - ABA Replay

A complete schedule of programming can be found here: SRA Programming Airtimes

About 'The Ville Podcast'
Six friends grew up playing and talking sports together in Pleasantville, NY. As they moved on from "the Ville", they decided to keep their sports dominated conversations going, texting each other their thoughts on the latest sports news. In January of 2016, a light bulb flashed for the guys. Why not record the conversations they were already having? Thus, the Ville Podcast was born. Six lifelong friends discussing everything and anything in the sports world, just like they had done since they were kids. Now joining Sports Radio America, the guys are excited to welcome a new audience to feel at home in the Ville. Every Thursday means its another trip back to the Ville.
