Sports-talk radio personality Ian Fitzsimmons has left Birmingham's WJOX 94.5 FM to join ESPN 103.3 FM in Dallas.

Fitzsimmons will appear on the afternoon drive-time show "Galloway & Company" with host Randy Galloway. He said this morning he begins working in Dallas on Tuesday.
 

"The opportunity to do a show with a guy like Randy Galloway, with a longer contract, is just the opportunity of a lifetime," Fitzsimmons said. "But I will truly miss everything about Birmingham."

In Dallas, Fitzsimmons also will host pre- and post-game coverage of the Dallas Cowboys. At WJOX, Fitzsimmons co-hosted the midday show "The Roundtable" with Lance Taylor.

His last day on the air here was Wednesday, and he said today that he regrets that he did not get the chance to tell his listeners goodbye on the air.

"JOX was tremendous," he said. "That was two of the best years and the most fun I ever had doing radio."

Will they move D&B to that slot?

I thought those guys were funny (especially their third wheel Rock Star), despite being blatant bammers.

Also thought it was funny how Finebaum listeners hated their fucking guts because they didn't think they gave him proper "respect".

However, they almost never talked about sports on their show. I'd like to see D&B, or heaven forbid an Auburn-leaning guy on the show.

I hope D&B gets that time slot. 

Although, I'm hesitant to say that.  They have the best sports talk radio show in Birmingham, but they're also blatant Bammers.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

I always liked The Roundtable.  What's LT's next step?

Hopefully off the end of the pier.

Now I may be an idiot, but there is one thing I am not, sir, and that, sir, is an idiot.

I hope not! LT is a funny, funny guy. And despite all the shit they talked about on the show, he's a smart guy. I will stop listening to WJOX if he leaves.

I thought the roundtable was better with Lance being the only host.
