One of the gay-friendliest shows on sports radio is back, as The Michael Irvin Show starts Monday, July 26, on Miami’s 560 WQAM. The show will run noon-3pmET. The show will stream online at WQAM.com. Irvin spent his college career wearing No. 47 for the University of Miami.
We’re working out the details, but it looks like I’ll again have a weekly segment talking about the latest in sports news (gay and otherwise) on Wednesdays at 2pmET…starting with updates on the Gay Games from Germany. I’ve been doing shows with Irvin’s partner, Kevin Kiley, for years in the Midwest, Los Angeles, Dallas and now Miami. The first time I’m on the show always draws out “why are you having a fag on your show” calls. Even in L.A. Looking forward to seeing the first reaction of South Florida residents.
And on a personal note, I’m really happy for Michael and Kevin. They got a bum rap from the ESPN Radio people in Dallas, who canned the show after Michael was unjustly accused of rape days before the Super Bowl in Miami. Here’s hoping it’s a huge success for them.

Glad to see him on the air again. Used to listen to him all the time in Dallas. I love how he’s vocal with being a Christian and supporting our community at the same time. (Which is what makes sense.)

Im glad that he’s back too! I think Miami will be more open to him and there is a lot to talk about now in Miami Sports with all that HEAT!

South Florida is pretty much like LA, a visible gay population coping with a “ghetto” population in the same place.
That is, gay visibility can be deceiving as to whether the area is accepting of gay people. Expect plenty of fag calls from the Miami callers, which is hip-hop/reggaeton ground zero.
