Every Friday evening at 5:00
p Jn., two men sit down-approxi¬
mately four fleet apart. Uoth put
on their earphones, listen to the
introduction musk and then it is
time to begin, Ifs time once again,
for "Inside the Game".
The two men are Adam Brady
and Marseilles Chavez. They are
the hosts of "Inside the Game", a
weekly sports call-in show on 90.7
KFSR, the campus radio station
here at Fresno State. The show,
now in if s second year, is gaining
popularity with every passing
week. %>    "■
The show got its start in the fall
of 1993 following a trip to San
Diego by Chavez. "I heard XTRA
sports 690 down there and I
wanted to bring sports talk radio
to Fresno." Soon after, Chavez
took over the last hour of Ed Bove's
show on KFSR and the show was
born.
"When it first
started, I was
doing a one man
show. Itwasba-

spot and from there it progressed
to Kevin Pendergast, who I
worked with for about four or
five months, and then Dennis
Clabom, who I worked with for
about a year."   j s
It was with'Chavez and
Claborn that the show started to
gain popularity. Flyers were cir¬
culated and word began to spread
of a talkshow on KFSR. The lead-
in show, Adam Brady's
"Primetime, Drivetime,
Showtime", helped jumped rat¬
ings also. "He was the perfect
lead-in for our show." says
Chavez. "People would listen to
his show he would tell them that
our show was coming up next
and people stuck around and lis¬
tened to us."

corning back from a few months

Chavez welcomed the change.
Then, early in December of y "Adam really brings a lot of
1994, the show had if s third big    knowledge about Fjgsno State
change. Adam Brady replaced
Dennis Claborn as the show's co-
host after Clabom stepped down.
KFSR Sports Director Eddie
Garcia/who originally launched
the show, felt the show was due
for a change. "It seemed to me
that the show had gone as far as it
could go'\vith Dennis and
Marseilles doing it together. I
wanted to bring in Adam as a
sportstothetableV' Garcia agrees.
"Accuracy and knowledge isvery
important for this shov^r, and
Adam is very accurate."
While Brady feels that his
knowledge of Fresno State sports
"is extensrve^fae works at Fresno

that it is not hisgreatest contribu¬

Although a lofts currently go-

show, there are still area thatneed
improvement
"1 think the show needs more
publicity" says Garcia. Tdlike
to see more consistency in the.
number of callers that call in each
week."
Chavezseesdifferent improve¬

need to have more .guests on the
show. I think we could get some
