    Wheels just announced on The Game that his show will be moving to noon to 3:00pm starting on March 2nd.

    Good move for The Game. Chris Meyers show was boring and this gives us more local programing during the day.

    I was getting used to Meyers' show, but if the alternative is Wheels. Hell yeah! Three hours is sweet.

    So, who replaces him in his former time slot?

    Wow! I can't believe this. I was actually getting ready to write 95.5 a complaint letter because of how often Chris Meyers used his show to bash liberals. It got to the point I just couldn't listen to him anymore because he seemed to be trying to act more like his Fox co-worker Bill O'Reilly, than a sports journalist. When Rome was over I switched to Dan Patrick on 1080. I figured writing a letter wouldn't work because they'd have contracts. I've never been so happy to be wrong.

    Great break for Wheels! I really like his show but never really listen because of the 6:00 time slot.

    Chris Meyers is awful (has he had an original take in his career?), so this is a great move.

    More Blazer talk while I'm at work is a good thing.

    Remember when Dave Shore, Mychal Thompson and Kermit had their mid day show? That was nice. Wheels is a good dude and I'm glad he got a good slot. Better than Meyers.

    I'd like to see Michael Holton get his own show. I think he's the best part of the Blazers broadcasts. Just keep Luftman away!

    Loved their shows. That was the golden era of Portland sports talk.

    Wheels teased towards the end of his announcement that there "might be opportunities" for another person we might like in the evenings.

    Kermit Washington needs to be back on the air. His show was awesome with Mycheal Thompson was awesome.

    Vance is sticking with Wheels. My vote would be for Mike Barrett--he was fantastic filling in for Canzano a few months ago.

    Good for Wheelz! I thought they were going to announce the Caron Butler trade! That must be tonight!

    I was wondering that, too. :)

    Also: was this the "big announcement on Monday" someone mentioned that Wheels was gonna make? I guess it is, huh?

    We should just give Channing Frye the 6-8PM slot until the end of the season. At least he'll be earning his paycheck.

    I wouldn't mind seeing Mike Barrett get a slot from 6-7 on weeknights there is no Blazer game and no courtside. When he filled in for Canzano I really liked it because it was mainly Blazers.
