Seven radio/Internet programs are presently produced by Jon Fine Sports Productions.  We not only are the on-air “talent”, but are responsible for its features, interviews, the promotion of the programming, and the marketing (advertising sales) of these programs.

Jon does not have much talent, but he is on-air for 3 of these 7 productions!  SportsGumbo.net, this web site, is also a Jon Fine Sports Production…We haven’t designed it, but are paying for it!

Our programming includes Central HS Football broadcasts, Denham Springs HS Football and Basketball Broadcasts, Episcopal HS Football broadcasts, Monday Morning Quarterback, Plaquemine Sports Weekly, The Dru Nettles Show and The Sid Edwards Show.  These programs can be heard on a variety of radio stations in the greater Baton Rouge area.  They all can be heard, live, on the Internet, right here, at SportsGumbo.net.

Jon is proud to serve as a marketing representative for SportsRadio-1310-KEZM-Lake Charles.  In this capacity, he has formed the “Dollar A Holler” Business Club and the SportsRadio-1310-KEZM Savings Club.

To show he is not just completely a sports guy (just 99.9%?), Jon has a table-tops marketing company that is still in its formative stages, Prestige International Table Tops Advertising.  It has installed table top advertising at Tramonte’s in Baton Rouge and hopes to have its second restaurant—Fox’s Pizza Den in Central—operational in the Fall of 2010.

Our e-newsletter, SportsGumbo.net Newsletter, provides a weekly line-up of programming and features columns from Scott Osborne and Dennis Dearie.  Jon is on sabbatical, but hopes to resume “Fine Ideas” in the future.  If you’d like to receive our free weekly newsletter, please e-mail Jon@SportsGumbo.net.

In year’s past, we have been involved in:  SportsTalk/SportsGumbo Radio—a daily sports talk show that once aired 2 hours a day in 5 of the 7 largest markets in Louisiana, Bayou Bash broadcasts, bus trips to away LSU football games, an LSU pre-game radio show, an LSU post-game basketball radio show, Live Oak HS and Walker HS Internet broadcasts, Central Coaches Corner/Livingston Parish Weekly/THE High School Sports Show, co-produced (with Ron Castille) the Calcasieu River Big Bass Bonanza fishing tournament, co-promoted a baseball card show, printed a newsletter, broadcasted Ascension Catholic HS softball broadcasts, did Wheelchair Basketball radio broadcasts and Baton Rouge Community College baseball on radio.

Charitable endeavors we’ve been involved with have included raising $10,000 for the American Red Cross Katrina & Rita Relief, generating over $2,500 for the schools we covered on THE High School Sports Show via THE High School Sports Show Weight Loss Challenge and promoting Wes Watts rideathon for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.  Our all-time favorite promotion was Morris Family Reunion Night.

Jon Fine Sports Productions was founded in 1987 in Lake Charles LA.  We’ve been in Baton Rouge since 1991.  It has been an eventful existence!  For more of the sordid details of Jon Fine Sports Productions, please visit our Show History page (which is in the process of being updated).  For a little flavor of what Jon was up to prior to the formation of Jon Fine Sports Productions, please see Jon Fine’s BIO.
