Bryant has also hosted ACC Digital Network’s college football pre-game show, Kickoff Live and Wes Got Range. He was most recently the 2021-22 pre-and post-game host for the Charlotte Hornets’ broadcasts on Bally Sports South.
Mehl (right) started his career in 2016, one year after graduating from UNC Charlotte, where he played basketball. In 2018 he began hosting his Locked On Hornets podcast, spotlighting his passion for the Hornets and the other local sports teams. Prior to becoming a full-time host, Mehl guest-hosted numerous shows on WFNZ.
WFNZ PD Jeff Rickard said, “I’m excited to hear from two talented young men who are not only entertaining and engaging, but true native sons of the Queen City. I’m looking forward to hearing their hometown takes on all things Charlotte sports. I can’t wait for our listeners to learn more about them and enjoy the upcoming ride.”
The revamped line-up at 92.7 WFNZ now starts with local favorites Mac & Bone in morning drive. Rickard anchors Charlotte Sports Today from 10am-noon, followed by Wes & Walker from noon-3pm, and Kyle Bailey will drive you home from 3-6pm.
