?I want to thank all of my fans who have followed and supported me through the years,? said Bruno. ?I am grateful to everyone who has encouraged me to return and who still want to hear my daily fun approach to sports and current affairs, which has been my fort? for over five decades in broadcasting; this time, I?m bringing friends! I hear over and over again that fans are tired of X?s & O?s sports radio. I plan to bring back exciting, sports talk radio again, with a Florida flair. What better place to launch a new nationwide sports network than in Florida, a true melting pot of fans from all over the nation.?
