(9 a.m.-noon), Jim Rome (noon-3 p.m.), Chris Myers and Steve Hartman (3-7 p.m.), ''Petros and Money'' (7-10 p.m.), J.T. The Brick (10-2 a.m.) and Fox Sports Soup (2-6 a.m.). WINZ also carries Heat and UF games.

Why would WINZ want to take on WQAM and 790 The Ticket -- and do it without any local talk shows?

''The progressive format was not doing what we expected revenue-wise, and we've got these giant names in sports,'' WINZ/WIOD program director Ken Charles said. ``The biggest thing on WQAM is Neil Rogers, and he's not sports. Go into a sports bar and mention Dan Patrick and Jim Rome, and people know them. Go into a sports bar and mention Jorge Sedano, and you get a blank look.''

The Ticket's Sedano, who has a sizable following, responded: ''Who's Ken Charles? He obviously knows who I am, though.'' (Sedano said he left WIOD after seven years because of Charles.)

''Ken Charles must be new to Miami if he doesn't know Joe Rose and Jim Mandich,'' WQAM's Joe Bell cracked.

Charles said a local show might be added, depending on the economy and how the station is doing. He said former 790 host Sid Rosenberg would be on his ''short list'' but added that Rosenberg has a noncompete clause that will keep him off local airwaves until the fall.
