Director of Local Sports Content Matt Fishman said, “With The Fan 2, we’re bringing Columbus something you can’t get anywhere else — a lineup that’s smart, funny, and flat-out entertaining. Mornings kick off with The Bob and Tom Show, middays give you great Ohio State Conversation with Morning Juice, afternoons bring the fire with Jim Rome. The Fan 2 is built to keep Columbus engaged, laughing, and talking.”
