0

Sports TalkGenesis Communications and Sports Talk Florida say the The Power Hour, a weekly blend of pop culture, sports, and everything in between, is now airing Monday nights from 6-7 p.m. on 1040 The Team in Tampa and 1080 The Team in Orlando.


The show features a lively mixture of athletes, pop culture personalities, and Insiders from SportsTalkFlorida.com, all uniting to smash stereotypes and bring a new twist to sports radio. Matt Sardo, SportsTalkFlorida.com Digital Director, hosts the vibrant and off-the-wall show.

“The Power Hour is a true experiment between the radio and digital worlds. We’ll get athletes talking about Star Wars and the pop culture universe will be breaking down the 4-3 defense. It will be jam-packed with guests and definitely entertaining,” Sardo said.

Having owned a comic book store in the heart of sports-crazed Chicago, Sardo saw first-hand how the pop culture and sports worlds could coexist. Naturally, creating a unique show that brings this concept to life is only fitting. Blending his love of the sequential art form and strong passion for sports, Sardo brings a whole new meaning to the term “sports nerd.”
