Channel 3 back in the game on Sunday nights KYW (Channel 3) hopes its recent news ratings success translates to its sports department. Its Sunday night sports show, now called "Sports Access," returns with a new name, new set, and new graphics after a three-month hiatus. "It is a very exciting time here," sports director Beasley Reece said. "We do more sports specials than anyone in the market, and management spares no expense to keep us in the game." "Sports Access," formerly "Sports Rap," will include one feature segment each week. Of course, the focus this week will be on hometown horse and Kentucky Derby winner Smarty Jones, who is preparing for the Preakness Stakes on May 15. Reece also proudly reports that KYW won the bidding war to be the official station of the Eagles. Thus, when football season rolls around, "Sports Access" will turn into "Eagles Total Access." Reece recently had a surprise 50th birthday party thrown by his wife of 26 years, Paula. Among the guests who had "All Access" to the celebration were former NFL teammates Lawrence Taylor and Thomas "Hollywood" Henderson. Fresh face Michele Tafoya will become the third "Monday Night Football" sideline reporter in three years, as she replaces Lisa Guerrero, who was dropped by ABC in that capacity after one shaky year. She joins Eric Dickerson, Melissa Stark, Fred Williamson, Dennis Miller and Joe Namath in the MNF (Monday Night Failures) Club. Let's go camping CSN's Ray Didinger, Philadelphia Soul radio announcer Ari Wolfe, a prominent local athlete (to be determined) and ESPN "Dream Job" finalist Michael Quigley are the latest additions to the roster of "The Scholastic Play by Play" sports broadcasting camp. Quigley, who made it to the final 12 in ESPN's search for a Sports Center anchor, is doing play by play for the Pennsylvania Valley Dawgs of the USBL. They will join Phil Martelli, Jim Jackson, Marc Zumoff, Bill Vargus and many other sports personalities at the camp. The sessions are June 21-25 and Aug. 16-20 at Bryn Mawr College. To register, call 215-668-1501. Bug juice is included. Tony and the Sopranos Former NFL player Tony Siragusa has been in the last two episodes of "The Sopranos" on HBO. Wisely, he hasn't been given any lines. Why couldn't Fox have utilized him like that last season? Laura Nachman covers television and radio sports for the Courier Times.
