Mike Bianchi has hosted the wildly popular "Open Mike with Mike Bianchi” program on 96.9 The Game in Orlando, Florida since 2010. His show can also be heard now on 96.5 The Spear in Tallahassee, Florida and AM 930 Fox Sports Radio in Jacksonville, Florida weekdays from 6-9am.
Mike has worked at several newspapers in the state, including the Palatka Daily News, the Gainesville Sun, Florida Today and The Florida Times-Union, and The Orlando Sentinel. Mike is one of the foremost sports voices in the Southeast.
The Open Mike program is highly focused on Florida Sports Teams including the FSU Seminoles, Florida Gators, UCF Knights, Jacksonville Jaguars, Miami Dolphins, Tampa Bay Bucs as well as the Orlando Magic and Orlando City Soccer.
He thinks sports are important because they’re so unimportant. We need a diversion from the problems and pitfalls of everyday life and this is where sports come in.
Mike wants you to consider his radio show as a meeting place, sort of an electronic sports bar, and he is the guy sitting at the stool next to you, eating wings, drinking a beer and watching the replay of 1989 Florida State-Miami game on ESPN Classic.
