Where did the Love go?

Apparently to the ball game.

Love 105 FM, a radio station that specialized in romantic pop music, is now known as The Ticket, a CBS arm dedicated to sports talk. All the personalties on the roster are national figures, including John Feinstein and Jim Rome.

Calls to executives have yet to be returned.

The move means the Twin Cities now has three full-time sports talkers--and that's not including KTWN, which broadcasts Minnesota Twins games.

More this afternoon.
