    KBME (790 AM) talk show host John P. Lopez said today he is moving to KILT (610 AM) to work morning drive with Marc Vandermeer.

    Lopez, a reporter and columnist for the Chronicle from January 1990 through August 2007, had been working middays and, in recent weeks, mornings with Ted DeLuca on KBME. He was hired by Gavin Spittle, KILT's recently hired program director, to fill the morning drive position alongside Vandermeer that was vacated when Andre Ware left the station earlier this year.

    "This is nothing against the guys at 790," Lopez said. "They've got some really good ideas at 610, and it's a chance to work mornings with Marc Vandermeer."

    Lopez and DeLuca began their midday show on KBME in November 2006. They added morning drive duties in May after the station dropped morning hosts Brad Davies and Craig Roberts.

    Michael Berry, director of AM programming for Clear Channel Radio Houston, had no immediate comment on Lopez's decision.


    This are the type of moves why nobody listens to Sportsradio 610s morning show. John Lopez is the biggest piece of crap in Houston. I will never ever listen to their station. Adam Wexler and Matt Jackson are the only two wroth listening to and who KNOW Houston sports. Screw you 610 you corporate pile of dung.

    1560 wins again, why couldn't they have just kept Wex in the morning, like the past couple of weeks.

    John Lopez? seriously. Also I don't want to start another thread but what's up with not being able to pickup the local broadcast live off the site during texan games?

    It has to be some NFL copyright infringement thing. Obviously, they'd air it if they could.

    Damnit 1560, GET A BIGGER ANTENNA! I can't get your signal in my house, and I just had 610 on in the mornings for sound. I do not want to have the sound of this idiot flowing in my ears when I wake up! I'm now completely done with 610 except for Rockets games if I happen to be driving.

    HORRIBLE decision.

    A play-by-play man and a washed-up Chronicle hack with a lisp. Way to think outside the box, 610. I plan on happily continuing not listening to your station in the mornings.

    Matt, Wex... hold your head up, dog.

    that monsters show was absolutely horrible. Now he will bring that suck over to 610.

    What a terrible decision.

    The central texas-texmex-nasal-lisp voice is soooooooo appealing

    They should have at least made a try for Jeff Van Gundy that would have been da bomb.

    Another good choice would have been a raid on 1560 they have some pretty good guys without a regular spot

    610 is not going to do well if 1560 gets a stronger signal.

    No more 610 mornings for me.

    HELL NO John Lopez is an IDIOT and I would rather stab my ears with a fork than listen to him speak.

    I really cannot believe there is this much of a lack of local radio talent in Houston that John Lopez can keep getting work.

    David Dalati was with Ted DeLuca for the midday show today. It was much better.

    FYI ... I had the same problem wanting to listen online as I am out of state, but I found that another station (KZNE out of College Station) airs the game live online via Flycast on my iPhone (Thing they have a PC app also). Don't think they are supposed to, but they do.

    Matt Jackson knows, yes, but he can't speak because Rich Lord is a fat piece of talks-over-you crap.

    Wexler is awesome though. I've heard him come on while Rich and Matt are still on, and pretty much put Rich in his place. It was awesome. I was mortified that they extended Rich/Matt to 7pm... I typically drive home from 6pm to 7pm which used to be Wexler's time. :(

    And yeah, I'll concur with this. The few times I listened to the "Monsters" on 790 while driving to/from lunch, I wanted to drive to their station and tell them how r****ded they are to their face. The plague has spread now, unfortunately. Looks like I'll be listening to Rod Ryan on The Buzz morning show 100% of the time now. It ain't sports, but it won't piss me off.
