Weekdays 11AM-1PM
Jimmy Ott and Charles Hanagriff with over 65 years combined experience doing sports talk shows in the Baton Rouge market host “Live at Lunch” weekdays 11am-1pm with an extra hour on Fridays during football season. The name of the show is self explanatory. The lunchtime show is live on location every day at various restaurants. The duo’s LSU historical perspective is unmatched. Jimmy’s father Al Ott was on LSU’s 1st National Championship team in 1958. The show also blends in some of the most respected sports gambling handicappers in the country, from New York to Las Vegas. As Ott would say, Live at Lunch-Lock of the Week-Lock of the Week!
