On July 21st 2008, radio listeners throughout the Washington DC Metro area tuned to ESPN Redskins Radio at 4:00 pm to listen to their favorite radio personality, John Riggins. To their dismay, The John Riggins radio show was no longer on the air. In early June, Redskins owner Dan Snyder reached a deal to buy three local AM radio stations from Clear Channel Communications, including Sportstalk 980 WTEM. The deal essentially gave Snyder's Red Zebra Broadcasting control over sports talk radio in Washington. As a result ESPN Redskins Radio and Sportstalk 980 WTEM have combined into ESPN 980. The new radio lineup doesn't include the John Riggins Show and this is your chance to tell Dan Snyder and Red Zebra Broadcasting VP of Operations Dennis Glasgow, just how you feel by signing the petition below.

Comments: Riggo has character and personality. He speaks whats on his mind rather than what he thinks someone wants to hear. He is not a suck-up which is why is probably not there.

Comments: Snyder keeps messing up a good thing. I no longer have season tickets and no longer listen to broadcasts. If you want me back, bring back Riggo and dont fight all the great Redskin traditions, you should embrace them. You will not have sell outs if you keep going like you are. The Ravens are more fan friendly than you and if we have to, we will go north to root for a team that seems to care about their fans.
