Saturday Afternoon Sports
Established in 1974 and still going strong - that's One on One, New York's longest-running sports call-in show.
One on One is totally a product of the WFUV Sports 30-member student staff, under the supervision of Executive Sports Producer Bob Ahrens. The show is hosted by eleven of the students on a rotating basis, and others producing, engineering, writing, and airing game updates from the region's professional sports venues.
Each week, the show includes three major segments per hour, including sports updates every 20 minutes. Topics include all major professional sports, a weekly segment on Fordham sports, live interviews, features, and listener call-in. One on One also goes on the road, broadcasting live from Yankee Stadium, Citi Field , Cooperstown's Hall of Fame Weekend, the golf and tennis U.S. Opens, the NFL Draft and Belmont Park on Racing's Triple Crown Saturday. WFUV students have covered the Super Bowl, World Series, Stanley Cup and NBA Finals.
Fordham University students are prepared through an intensive, two-semester workshop, training them in all aspects of sports broadcasting. Sports talk, play-by-play, beat reporting, interviewing, production, and engineering are all covered. Select students continue on to paid internships in the sports department. WFUV training creates opportunities that are not ordinarily offered to college broadcasters; for example, students carry press credentials to local and national sporting events.
The list of One of One alumni reads like a "who's who" and includes play-by-play announcers, sportscasters, broadcast executives, team management, and sports journalists. They have all been hosts of the show since its inception in 1974, following in the tradition set by Fordham University and WFUV alumnus and sportscasting great, Vin Scully.
Malcolm Moran (the first John S. and James L. Knight Chair in Sports Journalism and Society at Penn State University) was WFUV Sports Director in 1974 and the originator of the 'One on One' name. "The show was created," he said, "because at the time there was a need for it. There was no sports call-in show in New York City on a regular basis." Beginning on Sunday nights, the show has grown to a three-hour program in its current Saturday afternoon spot.
Today more feature-oriented, One on One includes a broad range of guests and offers in-depth analysis of all sports. Documentaries on Jackie Robinson, the Mets' 40th Anniversary and the Yankees' 100th Anniversary are among 21 WFUV Sports programs and 9 series in the Baseball Hall of Fame archives. One on One features and sportscasts have won 27 awards in regional, national and international broadcast competitions.
You can hear One on One Saturday afternoons from 1-4pm.
