Kornheiser Joins The Sports Capitol

• Cumulus Media’s recently launched DC Sports-Talk station WSBN (ESPN 630, The Sports Capitol)/Washington announced the addition of The Tony Kornheiser Show weekdays from noon-1pm, starting today. This marks the first time that The Tony Kornheiser Show, a daily podcast and exclusive partnership between podcast company Cadence13 and host Tony Kornheiser, will air on terrestrial radio. Kornheiser joins a stellar lineup on ESPN 630 that includes local sports veterans Bram Weinstein, Andy Pollin and Carol Maloney, along with ESPN personalities Stephen A. Smith, Mike Golic and Trey Wingo.

Bill Hess, PD of Cumulus Washington, DC, said, “Tony is a legend on sports radio in DC and we’re thrilled to be his new home. With Tony at noon, followed by ESPN’s The Stephen A. Smith Show at 1pm, ESPN 630 has the best one-two midday punch in town!”

Kornheiser made his name back in the day as a sportswriter for the Washington Post and as an ESPN Radio host and Monday Night Football commentator. Kornheiser has also co-hosted the popular Pardon the Interruption (PTI) with Michael Wilbon since it debuted on September 22, 2001. Kornheiser remarked, “I’m tremendously excited to be heard once again each day in the town where I live, and on a radio frequency I’ve listened to for 40 years.”
