Doc Reno Out At Big 105.9 WBGG-FM

     Longtime Big 105.9 WBGG-FM afternoon host Doc Reno had his position eliminated by iHeartMedia due to budget cuts. WBGG is the flagship radio station of the Miami Dolphins. 

     He hosted his ninth annual Doc Reno's Wingsfest in Margate on Saturday. Reno will continue as an on-site disc jockey for the Broward County Ohio State University Buckeyes Football Booster Club at Buffalo Wild Wings in Coral Springs. 

     Reno entered professional broadcasting in March 1984. One of his first jobs was as a disc jockey at KRLB-FM in Lubbock. He eventually landed in Cleveland and had a long reign as a disc jockey at WJMO-FM. 

     He would arrive at what was known as Big 106 WBGG-FM in July 2002. Reno had two stints at that radio station as an afternoon host. 

     Reno held the midday host post at WRLX-FM and part-time duties at WHDR-FM. He did his program on several different iHeartMedia radio stations throughout the United States including evenings on WBIG-FM in Washington D.C.

     He hosted a nationally syndicated late night show The Red Eye Rock Lounge since 2009. Reno also has been part of the iHeartRadio Classic Rock Channel as an evening host and Saturday afternoon host.

United States Upended By Turkiye

     The United States were surprised by Turkiye 3-2 in Los Angeles Stadium on Thursday night in the 2026 World Cup. It was the final match for both nations in Group D. The United States lost their first World Cup game where they scored the opening goal since 1950.

     The U.S. had already clinched first place in the group stage after two contests. The Americans will face Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Round of 32 on July 1 at San Francisco Bay Area Stadium. 

     The United States rocketed out to a 1-0 lead in the third minute of play. Sebastian Berhalter took a corner kick from the left side. Auston Trusty trapped the ball and half-volleyed the ball into the net from seven yards out with his left foot. It was the second-fastest goal by the U.S. to begin a World Cup game. 

     Turkiye answered back in the 10th minute to tie it up 1-1. Arda Guler placed in a left-footed shot from eight yards away into the right side of the cage. 

     It became 2-1 for Turkiye during the 31st minute. Orkun Kokcu received a pass from the end line and one-timed a shot from six yards with his right foot. It was the first time in the 2026 FIFA World Cup tournament that the Americans trailed in a contest.
