IRate Media & Holding LLC has expanded its Sports Broadcasting Division through strategic integration with Mane Media Network. The alignment brings established broadcast programming, nationally syndicated radio distribution, and expanded format diversity into the IRate Network structure.
Through this integration, several Mane Media Network properties now align with the IRate ecosystem, including What’s Going On – Fox Sports Radio Rochester, The Ryan Show, and the Mane Radio broadcast platform. Together, these assets extend IRate’s reach across terrestrial radio, national syndication markets, streaming platforms, and culturally driven programming formats.
What’s Going On – Fox Sports Radio Rochester
What’s Going On – Fox Sports Radio Rochester 1280 AM has served as a respected sports and culture talk program for more than two decades. Broadcasting every Sunday from 8:00–9:00 AM EST on Fox Sports 1280 AM, the show delivers conversations that move beyond the scoreboard, exploring sports, community issues, and cultural topics that impact everyday life.
The program is hosted by three experienced voices in media and athletics.
Nate Brown Jr. is a veteran broadcaster and community advocate who has spent decades elevating meaningful discussions in Rochester media.
Ryan Verneuille is a nationally syndicated radio personality and media entrepreneur known for bridging traditional broadcasting with modern multimedia platforms.
Greg Vaughn, a four-time MLB All-Star and one of the most powerful hitters of the 1990s, brings professional athlete perspective and firsthand sports insight to the program.
The combination of journalism, national media relationships, and professional sports experience has made What’s Going On a trusted platform for sports commentary and community dialogue.
The Ryan Show – National Syndication Reach
The Ryan Show, created and hosted by Ryan Verneuille, is a nationally syndicated variety radio program broadcast across more than 200 stations. Since its launch in 2015, the show has grown into a multi-platform media brand blending sports commentary, music culture, politics, entertainment, and unfiltered conversation.
The program’s distinctive panel format includes rapper Mr. Cheeks of Lost Boyz and co-host Hamptons Dave, along with a rotating lineup of guests that has included Grammy-winning artists, professional athletes, comedians, and cultural commentators.
Beyond terrestrial radio, The Ryan Show operates across podcast distribution, digital video platforms, live events, and social media, making it one of the more recognizable independent radio brands bridging traditional broadcasting and digital media.
Mane Radio Platform
Mane Radio serves as an additional broadcast outlet developed through the Mane Media Network structure. The station offers a diverse programming mix that includes sports talk, soul music, gospel programming, and jazz.
This format diversity expands the range of programming within the IRate ecosystem and allows the network to serve multiple audiences through culturally rooted content and sports-focused discussion.
Expansion Impact
Through the integration of Mane Media Network and its properties, IRate strengthens its Sports Broadcasting Division with established radio programs, nationally syndicated media relationships, and expanded programming formats. The addition of these assets broadens the network’s reach across radio, streaming, podcast distribution, and digital media channels.
