    This is part of a directory I have created to assist myself and GPK with the morning news. I also hope that others might use it to contact the various forms of media covering soccer in this country.

    It's always a work in progress. So if you see an error or know of something that I am missing, please let me know.

    Presently I have over 70 papers detailed, that cover US, MLS and A-League soccer. In addition, I have around a dozen radio listings and contact information for FSW and ESPN2/ABC.

    thanks,

    (at the present time, I'm going more of the mainstream route)

    Correction: The Extra Time show now airs on Wednesdays from 5:00 to 6:00 CT.

    I listened to it today (even called in). They confirmed that their new regular time is Wednesday at 5. The show is not bad. Kent mangles some names now and then, but he's quick to correct when informed. People should check it out next week and call in.

    Re: Re: Wizards Media

    thank you... is the number i have correct?


    and sorry andy, i recommend the gazette when people ask about soccer mags... but for this... it's simply not mainstream... maybe when i get farther along (pdl, wusa, etc.)

    although, i should probably figure out where to add YCJ Footy Photo Service

    Re: Re: Re: Wizards Media

    I don't recognize that number. It might be the station's business line. The number I used to call in to the show was (816) 576-7369.

    Thank you for posting this information in the first place.

    Maybe not "mainstream", but then I don't see anyone else running six page interviews with folks like David Sternberg (FSW), Lamar Hunt, or the other folks we have lined up this summer.

    This is not a complaint, just an observation. Your categorization is just.
    Which is why I mention them seperately. Our photo collections are quickly entering the mainstream awareness for folks that follow soccer in the US.

    Keep up the good work with the list.
