Ben & Woods Wake Up Across The Street

• After a brief spell on that lovely San Diego radio beach — following the recent implosion of their former radio home at XEPRS-AM (The Mighty 1090)— Ben Higgins and Steven Woods, a.k.a. “Ben & Woods” are once again gainfully employed, snapped up by Entercom Sports-Talk KWFN (97.3 The Fan)/San Diego for mornings, starting at the crack of 5am on Monday, June 10. Ben & Woods (accompanied by producer Paul Reindl) will fill the vacancy created when Dan Sileo left The Fan earlier this year; since then, Coach John Kentera has been covering the wake-up shift.

“In a short time, Ben & Woods has emerged as a highly-rated show in San Diego and will be a great addition to our popular local lineup,” said Bob Bolinger, SVP/Market Manager, Entercom San Diego. “Their experience in this market will help them seamlessly succeed in their new roles with our station.”

Higgins said, “We’re incredibly excited to return to the airwaves and join the lineup at 97.3 The Fan. The Padres find themselves right in the thick of the standings and Steve and I can’t wait to give our fans a reliable source for the latest news each and every morning.” He then handed the mic to Woods, who added, “We love talking Padres baseball and are lucky to bring our morning fun to the flagship station. We would also like to say thank you to our listeners for all the incredible support recently.”
