Audacy Sports “105.7 The Fan” WJZ-FM Catonsville/Baltimore MD will debut a new afternoon show on Wednesday, July 29 as former Baltimore Ravens running back Femi Ayanbadejo joins the station to co-host “The Final Drive” with incumbent co-hosts Ken Weinman and Tim Barbalace from 2-6pm.
Ayanbadejo spent eleven years in the NFL with multiple teams from 1997 to 2007 winning a Super Bowl with the Ravens in the 2000 season. He has contributed to multiple shows on the station since 2012 including Ravens pre and postgame coverage and most recently on weekends with Bruce Cunningham.
He commented, “I’ve known Tim and Ken for a long time, and I’ve always admired their talents. Now, I’m excited to join them and create something fresh—an informative, entertaining show that Baltimore sports fans genuinely enjoy and that can be one of the top shows in the market. That level of success is familiar territory for Tim and Ken, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to help build what comes next.”
Brand Manager Joe LaCroix commented, “Femi’s sports knowledge spans far beyond football, encompassing the entire Charm City sports scene. His fearless opinions and local sports knowledge will complement Ken’s fiery takes and Tim’s sharp insights. We can’t wait for our listeners to experience the next chapter of afternoons with ‘The Final Drive’.”
Ayanbadejo takes the slot that had been held by Jason LaCanfora until his exit in February.
