Costas on the Radio

Costas on the Radio was an American radio show hosted by Bob Costas. It aired weekly on Premiere Radio Networks (affiliates could choose to air the show on Saturdays or Sundays). Although a longtime sportscaster who is best known for his work on NBC Sports, Costas discussed many issues besides sports, interviewing celebrities and newsmakers in a format similar to that of fellow broadcaster Larry King's radio days.
The show began its run on September 16, 2006. "Costas on the Radio" succeeds "Costas Coast to Coast", a syndicated call-in radio show hosted by Costas from 1986 to 1996. 
The show ended its run on May 31, 2009. 
The show was created by Sean Compton and Costas.
Format.
Each two-hour show featured Costas administering one or two longform interviews (usually lasting for an entire hour) of various athletes, sports book authors, journalists, and other entertainers and newsmakers not necessarily involved in the sports industry. Guests usually appeared in studio, but interviews were occasionally conducted over the telephone. Costas described the show in a promo as having "something for everyone."
Special features.
Packaged with the show were the daily minute-long "Costas Cut" and "Costas Minute" features, for sports and news/talk stations respectively. The features included bits from prior interviews on the main show.
Syndication.
Each show was recorded on Thursday afternoon, and Premiere Radio fed the program to its affiliates via satellite four times each weekend.
The show originated from New York City or St. Louis and was syndicated across the United States and Canada, on over 220 AM and FM stations, by Premiere Radio Networks. It also aired three times each weekend on XM Talk Radio 165.
