Meet our hosts:

There’s more to the man than those goofy Hawaiian shirts. What other Denver media personality can lay claim to three Colorado Sports Writer of the Year awards, a regular fill-in gig on ESPN’s Around the Horn, a Westword Best Sports Talk Show Host award and an appearance on a Trivial Pursuit card?

Jimmy can. He’s been there, done all that. Along the way, he has become one of the most knowledgeable figures on the Denver sports scene. It was hard not to, given his 25 years of experience at The Denver Post and on local radio and TV airwaves.

He has appeared regularly on KLZ 560, where he co-hosted the cutting-edge Press Box with Tim Neverett, now the play-by-play voice of the Pittsburgh Pirates, and KKFN The Fan, where he helped elevate afternoon drive time to unprecedented heights – No. 4 in the market among men 25-54.

Now it’s on to 1510 Mile High Sports Radio. If you think Armstrong’s Page 2 column in The Post is funny, check him out on The Score, where he plans to win the gold in the Envelope-Pushing Olympics. Oh, and did we mention he grills a mean brat, calls his mother twice a week, and is a good people person?

Hey, who’s that guy next to Les? You know, up there on the silver screen? The answer: Kevin Costner.

It’s true. Talk about a face not made for radio. Les spent 17 years as a sports anchor at KCNC-Channel 4 and KDVR-Fox 31, then landed a role as, what else, a TV reporter in Costner’s 2008 movie, Swing Vote.

He has won an Emmy and snagged a Westword Best Sportscaster award. He has been a regular host of the Mike Shanahan Show. His perspective on the local sports scene is appreciated so much, he has become a member of the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame selection committee. Hey, stuff happens when you’ve been around for 25 years. During that time, Shapiro has become a pillar in the Denver community, chairing or MC’ing various charity events, including the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Project Exile and the Lupus Foundation.

When Shapiro talks about Denver sports, people listen. That’s why we teamed him with Jim Armstrong on The Score, soon to be the city’s leading local morning sports-talk show.

Just one more thing. The Score is committed to talking local sports, from A (Avs) to Z (Gary Zimmerman). But if the Cubs happen to win the World Series one of these centuries, please cut Les a little slack. He won’t be able to help himself.

"The results we are having with advertising during The Score are great. The number of calls and the quality of clients we receive from The Score are fantastic. In a business where we look at all of our advertising on a ROI basis, The Score AM1510 is always in the top tier. We look forward to a long and prosperous relationship."

"My association with Jim Armstrong as an advertiser began more than six years ago and the fact that, all these years later, I’m still advertising on The Score tells you how much bang I’ve gotten for my advertising buck. It was my hope that Jimmy’s insight, experience and humor would attract listeners who would become regular BST patrons, and that’s exactly what has happened. My business continues to grow, thanks in part to my involvement with Jim Armstrong."

"I found the rates on The Score very reasonable, so I agreed to sponsor the show’s Pro Football Pick ‘em Show on Fridays. To say the least, I got a huge response. Many customers have commented that they heard about my restaurant on The Score, and that they like the Armstrong-Shapiro team. I’m a sports fan and I’ve read Jimmy Armstrong’s column in The Post for years. He’s the funniest guy in the Denver sports media, so I haven’t been surprised by his success in radio.

I plan on being a Score advertiser for years to come."
