Greeny - hosted by Mike Greenberg - will remain in its current 10a-12p timeslot on the station. They fill the void created by Sarah Spain who recently announced her departure. The 7p-9p evening show will now belong to the team of Joe Fortenbaugh and Amber Wilson. The national network will install Jason Fitz and Harry Douglas into the newly opened 12p-3p slot. The local changes do require some additional adjustments on ESPN Radio’s side as well. “Expanding DiPietro & Rothenberg in morning drive, being fortunate enough to have Bart & Hahn back as a local New York show, and continuing with all of our other outstanding local shows will create consistency for listeners and give our hosts a greater opportunity to engage with audiences, and each other, on the day’s top stories.” “We are always looking for the best ways to serve sports fans and we are excited to bring even more New York flavor and content to local fans throughout their day on 98.7,” said Scott McCarthy, vice president, ESPN Audio. Alan Hahn has spent more than 25 years working in New York media with Newsday, MSG Network, and 98.7 ESPN New York. Bart Scott played a portion of his NFL career for the New York Jets, and worked at both WFAN and 98.7 ESPN New York before the show moved to the national stage. The change also provides more opportunities for our partners to align with the station and achieve their marketing goals and objectives.”Īdditionally, ESPN Radio’s Bart & Hahn will move back to 98.7 ESPN New York as an exclusively local show. Vinny DiMarco, market manager, ESPN New York said, “Our fans will have the opportunity to listen to local coverage on 98.7 ESPN FM all throughout the day.” He continued, “Both DiPietro & Rothenberg as well as Bart & Hahn will give fans valuable insight, expertise, and live reaction about all things New York sports. By extending the local show, 98.7 ESPN New York will now look to compete locally in all four hours with WFAN’s Boomer & Gio. The station’s morning show DiPietro & Rothenberg will increase to four hours as part of a revamped daily lineup which will go into effect on January 3rd.ĭiPietro & Rothenberg currently airs on the station from 5a-8a while ESPN Radio’s national morning show - Keyshawn, JWill, & Max - airs from 8a-10a. Andrew Marchand and Ryan Glasspiegel of The New York Postreported yesterday and ESPN has since confirmed that 98.7 ESPN New York is expanding its local programming.
