    He's baaaack! After a nine-month absence, Charlie Pallilo is returning to Houston sports talk radio.

    Gow Media announced on Wednesday that Pallilo will appear regularly on the two sports radio stations owned by the Houston-based multi-platform media company. Earlier this year, Gow acquired CultureMap, the leading online destination for lifestyle content in Texas.

    Starting August 21, Pallilo will host a weekday show on SB Nation 1560AM from 11 am-1 pm. He will also make guest appearances on ESPN 97.5FM Mondays and Fridays from 1-1:30 pm on “The Usual Suspects” hosted by Joel Blank and Barry Laminack, and on Wednesdays from 10-10:30 am on “John Granato and Raheel Ramzanali with Del.”

    Pallilo will also write for the company’s websites, including CultureMap.

    “I am thrilled to add Charlie to our lineup,” said David Gow, CEO of Gow Media. “Charlie has a longtime, loyal following. He provides thoughtful, insightful analysis and dialogue with his listeners. He is going to make a mark at Gow Media.”

    A Houston sports talk fixture since 1989, Pallilo has earned a reputation as the most informed and knowledgeable host in the city. Locally, he has been recognized on the “best of” lists by the Houston Chronicle and Houston Press. Radio Ink ranked Pallilo on its list of top sports talk show hosts in the country, placing him at No. 11 and No. 10 in consecutive years.

    Pallilo worked at KTRH (740AM) and KILT (610 AM) before joining KBME (790 AM) in 2004 after owner iHeart Media launched an all-sports format. He left the station in October, 2016, after he was replaced by former KILT host Josh Innes.

    “I am eager to get back at it,” Pallilo said. “It has been great getting to know the team at Gow Media, and I look forward to reconnecting with listeners.”

    In addition to its Houston sports radio stations and CultureMap, Gow Media also owns SB Nation Radio, one of the nation's largest national sports radio networks.

    In recent months, Gow has also launched a new national TV sports broadcast, The Sean Salisbury Show, on the BeInSports TV network; hired former Houston Chronicle columnist Ken Hoffman as a columnist for CultureMap and contributor on the Gow sports radio stations; and entered into a new contentsharing and cross-promotion partnership with ABC13 KTRK-TV.

    The company plans to launch a new sports site, SportsMap.com, in September.

    “With a focus on sports and lifestyle content, we are building the leading multi-platform media company in Texas,” Gow said.

    Farewell, Tony

    JJ Watt is in as CBS Sports parts ways Tony Romo following arrest

    Tony Romo is out at CBS.

    CBS Sports and Tony Romo have officially parted ways, one month after the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback pleaded no contest to charges of operating a vehicle while intoxicated.

    Romo had been on leave since his July 23 arrest in Wisconsin. He had been the lead game analyst for CBS’ NFL coverage since 2017.

    “CBS Sports and Tony Romo have mutually agreed to part ways,” CBS Sports said Friday in a statement. “We thank Tony for his contributions over the past nine years and wish him the best moving forward.”

    Analyst JJ Watt had joined play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz and sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson on CBS Sports’ lead NFL team during Romo’s absence. Watt will continue in that role now and all other CBS teams will remain the same.

    “I’m proud of what I accomplished at CBS Sports over the last nine years," Romo said in a statement. "I approached my role as a game analyst the way I’ve approached everything in my life — with a desire to win and be the best that I can be. I’m going to use this time to take a break, something I’ve never done before, and focus on my health and my family before moving on to my next opportunity. I am grateful for my time with CBS Sports and for the continued support of my family and friends, as well as the NFL community and fans.”

    Romo was arrested following a traffic stop as he was driving south on Interstate 43 in Wisconsin. He pleaded no contest to a charge of operating while intoxicated on Sept. 1 and issued a statement apologizing for the actions that led to his arrest.

    According to Milwaukee County court records, Romo lost his driving privileges for six months and was ordered to complete an alcohol assessment program.

    “The past month has been difficult, but it has also been personally significant,” Romo said Sept. 1 in a statement on Instagram. “It has required me to confront and own my mistakes fully — to the Lord, to myself, to my family and now to the public.”

    Romo said the multiple back surgeries that led to his retirement as a player “left me with constant, debilitating pain.” He noted that the pain “led to a dependence on pain medication, and my efforts to get off those medications led to an over-reliance on alcohol.”

    “None of this is an excuse,” Romo said. “These are my failures and I take responsibility for them.”

    Romo said he is working with a team of doctors to address his health and “make the necessary changes.”

    The 46-year-old Romo made four Pro Bowl appearances during a playing career that ran from 2004-16 and was spent entirely with Dallas.
