(On-air personality—102.7 WEBN/Cincinnati Cyclones PA announcer)

One of the best voices around; incredible delivery, incredible excitement; offers humor to his radio bits; informed and strong supporter of all local teams.

Lance McAllister (talk show host—1530 WCKY)

Creates a good afternoon talk show covering all local sports; shows a undeniable love for his work and the local teams; seems to lack knowledge of some of the intricacies of sports.

George Grande (Reds play-by-play/FSN Ohio)

Anchored first Sportscenter broadcast; a former college player has a decent understanding of the game; does not overstate his knowledge, as he does well to deflect intricate baseball questions to partner Chris Welsh. His knowledge creates a very good baseball watching experience.

Brad Johansen (Bengals play-by-play/700 WLW, 92.5 WOFX)

Creates a great broadcast for radio; a good voice and great inflection; many of his calls have made it on SportsCenter highlight reels. I feel he should be more prominent in the city but very few people miss the Bengals on TV.

Chris Welsh (Reds Color Analyst/FSN Ohio) 

Former MLB pitcher; offers insightful knowledge about the game of baseball and the Reds team during a broadcast; broadcasting delivery has room for improvement but offers a positive experience overall.

 

Worst of Cincinnati

Paul Dougherty

Minuscule understanding of intricacies of sports; a miserable radio show. He is a phenomenal columnist, however, for the Cincinnati Enquirer—his radio show was just cut on Thursday.

Alan Cutler

Unbelievably inflated ego; most people accomplish something more than a  six a.m. time slot before thinking they have rose scented feces; utter lack of sports knowledge and closed to caller opinion—his show has also been cut in a wave of ClearChannel budget cuts.

Geoff Hobson (Bengals.com)

Seems to be knowledgeable about the Bengals and the NFL; I just have a problem with a guy with a Boston accent covering the Bengals.

Let the debate begin.
