Wonder if Nick and Steven will be sharing revenue from both of their "new" ventures?

From the "Personalities Tab"
Nick Geber
Orignally from London, England, Nick Geber has been an innovator in broadcasting for more than seven years. Perhaps best known as co-host of World Soccer Weekly and World Soccer Daily, Nick was also TV co-host of Fox Football Friday and Fox Football Fone-In on the Fox Soccer Channel.
Keith Costigan
A native of Dublin, Ireland, Keith Costigan played soccer for clubs such as Luton Town and the Portland Timbers before settling in Los Angeles as the wise-cracking barman on the weekly call-in show, Fox Football Friday, and later served as co-host of Super Saturday, alongside Nick Webster. He's also a regular on Fox's Barclays Premier League and Serie A telecasts.

Kudos to both Sirius and Gerber for filling the void. Is this starting tomorrow? I guess we'll find out

You think they are still together?
Can't imagine why they'd compete against each other.
Plus Steven isn't exactly a big fan of Keith "Company Man" Costigan.

Who knows what is going on. They are listing the same email, phone number and website...the one that WFD used not 3 hours ago for their Monday broadcast. I'm just confused at this point :).

I'd like to hear the back story on this. Are the Nick and Steven working against each other? Or are these just two shows with different distribution channels: Steven via podcast, Nick via broadcast.
I listened to WSD strictly via podcast and I'm on the fence about subscribing to Stephen's new venture. No offense to him, but I'd rather take a free podcast version of Geber's show were it made available.

Costigan!? I'd much rather have Nick Webster from the FSC crew. But I'll give it a listen if it's available via podcast.

It's a non story right now, just rumor.
This is an option for the team, two related shows, but there's no formal announcement or decision as far as I'm aware. If Nick decides to bring back WSD, I'm sure he and the WFD would be working together not against each other. Afterall, they share a co-owner as well as many staff (including BLUFF, who handle the video for WFD and the poker broadcasting). They won't have a problem working out scheduling conflicts, etc, if both shows are on the docket.

I'd say it's past the rumor stage, didn't you see the first few posts? It's already listed on Sirius.com, along with little bios of both guys if you click the 'personalities' link of the soccer section
EDIT: I don't know if you work for the show or have inside info or anything, I guess maybe you do since I see you authored the guest post on that was stickied on this forum, but yeah, it is listed on Sirius.com

I know it's on Sirius, if was there last week, I'm saying it's not necessarily true. That was one of *several* options being considered for the team, but I've seen nothing official from Nick about it, and until he decides which way they want to go, if at all, and the wheels go forward, it's just a rumor.

I am not paying $10. I have been listening for 5 years now but as a college student I can't afford it. I am definitely interested if Nick and Keith continue. Although I wish it was Kenny and not Keith.

Hope this clears things up for people, thought I fear it will only make the melo-drama more :).
