"I jumped at the opportunity." Those are the words Steve Tannen uses to describe his journey from working in the financial industry to becoming a sports radio talk show host.
It all started when a group of Steve's friends decided to leave their successful jobs as lawyers. Those friends were always interested in the world of radio because Steve did it in college but they never pursued it as a career.
In 1990 Steve got a call from those friends saying they were bored with their jobs and wanted to buy a radio station. They traveled the country and settled on one in Eugene, Oregon. They eventually asked Steve to host their morning show and he had no choice but to say yes because he missed working in radio.
Steve moved out to Eugene with six weeks' excited to start a new career. Unfortunately, in 1993 the radio station went belly up but he decided to stick it out. Later that year he started hosting his own sports show on public radio. He eventually switched to hosting his show full time on commercial radio and the rest is history. It is 26 years later and Steve Tannen is the host of Crunch Time and Sports Talk on 95.3 the score daily in Eugene, Oregon.
