Jayne Kennedy convinced me pretty quick women can be knowledgeable about sports, do interviews and reporting. For some reason it took me a while
to accept listening to them on the radio doing sports talk. I think it was mid 90's I heard the first woman sports talk host. It was probably on the mighty 690 AM that broadcasted out of Tijuana Mexico that did the Charger games and where Jim Rome got his start. I think it was a Saturday show it took me a while to realize the two women were pretty knowledgeable. The next thing I had to get used to was hearing a woman's voice broadcasting a live sporting event. I think the first one was Ann Meyers doing color on an NBA game.
I had to do quite a bit of Googling to get her name right.
