Bruce Murray and Bill Pidto
Bruce Murray debuted on SIRIUS in the summer of 2006 as co-host of the Mike & Murray Show. (where he was presumably forced to share the billing with Mike Yam.) Before coming to SIRIUS, Bruce spent ten years at Sporting News Radio, including hosting another eponymous show, Murray in the Morning, for three years. Bruce also co-hosted The Troy Aikman Show, The Bill Parcells Show and Around the NFL. It is widely rumored in the industry that he quit because he wasn't able to squeeze his name into the titles. Bruce has also co-hosted with James Brown (formerly of FOX and now with CBS), spent 5 years at WTEM in Washington, hosted the Washington Bullets Pre, Post and Coaches shows, and worked at WFAN and ESPN Radio.
During his 15 years at ESPN, Bill Pidto anchored nearly every show, including SportsCenter and Baseball Tonight, on the entire ESPN family of networks. Earlier in his career, Pidto worked as a sportscaster at New England Cable News in Boston and had local stints in Binghamton and Syracuse, New York. He graduated from Cornell University in 1987 with a degree in psychology.

Dino Costa
If you're looking for a sports talk radio program with some rabid bite to it, this Mad Dog Radio show is sure to satisfy. Dino's stock and trade is his high octane, no nonsense approach. Dino cuts through the clutter and delivers with a high impact dose of sports talk radio that leaves the listener with no doubt as to the feelings of “The Mile High Mouth.” No two programs are ever the same, but the non-stop need to opine on myriad topics is a consistent part of every program. Dino has done sports radio and rattled cages in places like Jacksonville, Fla., Wheeling, West Va., and Denver. He's been a part of the Colorado Rockies pre- & post-game shows on FSN Rocky Mountain and he's hosted his own sports talk television program on FSN.
