New Sports Player In Columbus
iHeartMedia Columbus, OH debuted a new Sports station by flipping two-year-old Alternative WXZX (105.7 The X) to 105.7 The Zone, which will broadcast nothing but sports programming all day, every day, featuring the full Fox Sports Radio line up, including The Dan Patrick Show, The Rich Eisen Show and The Herd with Colin Cowherd. The Bruce Hooley Show will feature local personalities Bruce Hooley and Maddie Spielman, daughter of Chris Spielman, former Buckeye All American, NFL All Pro linebacker and Fox Sports announcer; the show will announce another co-host at a later date. The station will also broadcast Cleveland Cavaliers and Cincinnati Bengals games and carry special reports from Matt McCoy, longtime Sports anchor on 610 WTVN, as well as reports on local sports, news, traffic and weather. Current PD Mike Elliott remains firmly in command of the new 105.7 The Zone.
“Columbus has one of the best sports fan bases in the country and they finally a have a new destination for Columbus-based sports and entertainment radio in the morning, plus the best national line-up available the rest of the day,” said Michael McCoy, SVP of Programming for iHeartMedia Columbus.
