LAKE BLUFF, Ill., Oct. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- YourSportsFan.com, the
premier social networking web site built for sports fans by sports fans,
announces a new daily sportscast anchored by Les Grobstein and other
leading sports personalities. The daily show, "The Sports Fix", will begin
on October 22, 2006, and will be available via podcast on
YourSportsFan.com.
YourSportsFan.com is one of the few sports social networking sites that
boasts credentialed sportswriters as contributors and members. The latest
addition to the YourSportsFan.com's team of contributors is former Chicago
Cubs and Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Doug Glanville.
"YourSportsFan.com lets me connect with knowledgeable and articulate
baseball fans at a level that other types of media would never have
allowed," says Glanville. Glanville will be featured as a guest columnist
for the duration of the Major League Baseball playoffs.
The new sportscast, "The Sports Fix", will feature commentary,
analysis, and interviews, and will draw from a broad base of broadcasting
talent.
"Podcasting is yet another way for YourSportsFan.com to put fans at the
center of the sports experience, rather than on the sidelines," Grobstein
said. Grobstein, a 30 year veteran of sports media, adds, "Traditional
sports coverage tends to be a one way street, and discounts the fact that
there are extremely smart fans out there." YourSportsFan.com allows fans to
blog, create home pages, form online groups and interact with
sportswriters, athletes, and other fans.
The podcasts will be a prelude to live streaming daily shows, featuring
Grobstein and other contributors.
YourSportsFan.com plans to continue to challenge the sports community
with new functionality and fan driven content. Since its beta launch on
August 30 of this year, YourSportsFan.com's registered user base has grown
by over 1000%, making it one of the fastest growing sports social
networking sites. YourSportsFan.com is wholly owned by SRN Internet Venture
LLC, a privately held company. SRN Internet Venture, LLC is affiliated with
SRN Broadcasting & Marketing, Inc., an industry leader in providing
