Andy Furman — unleashed on WONE!
IMMORTAL ‘FUR BALL’
TO DISCUSS LIFE & TIMES
IN & OUT OF RADIO
MARK SCHLEMMER’S GUEST
HITS RADIO AIRWAVES IN
DAYTON AND BEYOND
===LUDWIG AT LARGE salutes Mark “The Skipper” Schlemmer, host of WONE-AM radio’s Sportstalk 980, for delivering a sports talk show that Dayton can be proud of. The caller-driven show has emerged as the most-talked-about radio program in “The Gem City,” covering the Reds, Bengals, Browns, Flyers, Raiders … and so much more. When “Mike from Fairfield” calls, you KNOW it’s good. Here’s hoping WONE can hold on to Schlemmer, who is fast becoming one of the region’s hottest radio personalities with his quick wit, sharp tongue, spicy commentary and ocean-deep knowledge of sports. “The Skipper” loves slaving over a hot microphone.===
Andy Furman, one of the daddy-Os of Cincinnati sports-talk radio, will be Mark “The Skipper” Schlemmer’s guest on WONE-AM (Sportstalk 980) radio tonight — Thursday, Sept. 18 — from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m.
With the two-year anniversary of Furman’s dismissal as host of 700 WLW Sportstalk fast approaching, the immortal Brooklyn-born “Fur Ball” will discuss his life & times as the former WLW-AM (700) and WFTK-FM (96.5) sports talk radio host.
Furman enjoys his new role as “Internet Director” for Jake Sweeney Automotive in Cincinnati. But he’d love to get back into radio. He’ll discuss what’s holding him back, so be sure to tune in.

Purchased 2 new cars over the summer. Just as I started shopping I saw where Furman was working. That took care of considering Jake Sweeney Automotive. If you’re willing to have him on staff integrity is a low priority.By Brian

Strange, I can’t actually recall Furman ever actually talking sports. B.S., plenty. But never sports. Kudos to T.J. Houshmandzadeh for exposing him as the creep he is.By Brian Phillips

The furball has a presence like none other and is making it known in the dayton market for a reason. A free agent acquisition like furman will benifit WONE.By Andy Furman
