New Year, New FC Cincy Show

With FC Cincinnati’s second season in the USL officially underway, the FC Cincinnati radio show is back and with a new format. Now known as the “Toyota FC Cincinnati Fan Show,” the ESPN 1530 radio program will once again air from 6:00 to 7:00 pm at the Moerlein Lager House two Wednesdays a month.

Tommy Gelehrter will return as host and will be joined ESPN 1530’s Mo Egger. While last year’s show was mainly an interview segment with a featured player, this year’s version is emphasizing fan engagement. There will be trivia, prizes that range from jerseys to match tickets, and the opportunity to obtain autographs from featured players. New head coach Alan Koch will also be featured on the show.

I went to last year’s show a few times throughout the season and had a good time. I was able to get autographs from former head coach John Harkes and a few of the players from last year’s team every time I went. With the increased emphasis on fan engagement, this year’s show sounds like it could be a lot better. If you are an FC Cincinnati fan, I highly recommend you go. I will try to go to a few shows this year and show my support for FC Cincinnati while getting some new autographs and hopefully winning some FC Cincy prizes.
