The nationally-syndicated Wrestling Observer Live radio show, hosted by Bothell’s Bryan Alvarez, expanded to Saturdays at 10 a.m. on Nov. 29 on the Sports Byline USA Radio Network. The one-hour Saturday show will be followed Sundays by a two-hour live edition beginning at 3 p.m.

“I am so excited to add a Saturday morning show,” said Alvarez, 39, who produces the show from his home studio in Bothell. “I love wrestling and I love live radio, so I couldn’t ask for a better job.”
