HARRISONBURG — Rich Roth and Larry Richmond have never had a narrow focus when it comes to their sports-talk radio show — on the air or off.
When they started broadcasting the program out of Lynchburg a decade ago, they didn’t want to pigeon-hole themselves by talking only about Liberty University athletics or Lynchburg Hillcats minor league baseball.
So they threw in a little University of Virginia … some Virginia Tech … the Redskins, the Orioles, NASCAR.
"The more local you are, the more exclusive you are," Roth said in a recent interview. "Every minute you talk about Liberty and [someone] doesn’t care, you’re kind of excluding them from what you’re doing."
And exclusion isn’t what "The Sportsline" is about. Expansion is a much better word.
