“Tiffany, Mike and Beau are going to offer a unique combination of perspectives on sports, culture, current events and day-to-day life that our listeners will find to be informative, entertaining and funny,” said Mike Conti, Brand Manager of 92.9 The Game. “They’ve quickly developed a chemistry that I think will lead to a fast-paced, fun, high-energy show each morning.”
John Fricke, who currently hosts mornings on 92.9 The Game, will continue in a new role, details TBA. The Game also announced a new early-morning show, The Hometown Take, weekdays from 5-6am ET, anchored by Dylan Mathews, producer of The Morning Shift on 92.9 The Game.
