Ticket sports host convicted

   January 5, 2009

Scott McKinney, co-host of “Southern Sports Tonight” and “Morning Wrap” on 98.1 FM The Ticket, pleaded guilty Jan. 2 to nine counts of theft and one count each of organized fraud, money laundering and racketeering.

McKinney will serve a minimum of 1 year and a day in prison, but will (amazingly?) stay on the air until his sentencing.
