ESPN’s “ESPN 98.7” WEPN-FM New York has made the addition of former NFL linebacker and current WFAN host Bart Scott official.

Scott previously worked for WEPN-FM before joining WFAN to co-host afternoons with Chris Carlin and Maggie Gray following the first retirement of Mike Francesa in January 2018 before the show then being moved to 1-3pm. Scott will be teamed in the 1-3pm slot on WEPN-FM with current evening host Alan Hahn replacing the national Stephen A. Smith show in the that timeslot. Scott will also become a regular contributor to ESPN-TV’s Get Up and First Take programs.

While the new schedule released by ESPN lists the 7-10pm slot as “TBD”, Scott’s former WFAN co-host Chris Carlin has already announced that he will fill that slot starting January 2 on nights with no New York Knicks or Rangers broadcasts.

Former New York Jets linebacker Bart Scott will return to 98.7FM ESPN New York Thursday, Jan. 2, teaming with Alan Hahn to host Bart & Hahn weekdays from 1-3 p.m. ET. The new two-hour show will enhance the local weekday afternoon lineup and lead directly into drive-time leader The Michael Kay Show.

Scott will also contribute regularly to Get Up (8-10 a.m.) and First Take (10 a.m. – noon), ESPN television’s daily morning shows.

“I am super excited to rejoin the ESPN NY 98.7 family,” said Scott. “I look forward to partnering with Alan and giving New York sports fans an entertaining, diversified and informative listening experience.”

Tim McCarthy, senior vice president and general manager 98.7FM ESPN New York, added, “We are so excited to have Bart back at 98.7 ESPN where we started his radio career. The combination of Bart and Alan will add a unique perspective to New York sports talk in a very entertaining fashion”
