As ESPN Radio prepares to debut its new national lineup on August 17, the company is adjusting the schedule at its “98.7 ESPN” WEPN-FM New York to clear parts of two national shows in New York.
The New York Post reports Gordon Damer will continue his local hour at 5am leading into the new “Keyshawn, Jay and Zubin” hosted by Keyshawn Johnson, Jay Williams and Zubin Mehenti. WEPN-FM will carry all but the final hour of the national morning show from 6-9am. Rick DiPietro, Chris Canty and Dave Rothenberg will move from 10am-1pm to 9-11am, while Alan Hahn and Bart Scott slide up from 1-3pm to 11am-1pm.
Those moves will allow WEPN-FM to clear the final hour of Mike Greenberg’s new show in the 1pm hour and the first hour of Max Kellerman’s new show in the 2pm hour giving each clearance in the New York market. Kellerman previously hosted middays locally for WEPN from 2006-2009.
The Michael Kay Show continues from 3-7pm and Chris Carlin at night from 7-10pm around play-by-play coverage.
