Audacy Sports “ESPN 1320” KIFM Sacramento will revamp its on-air lineup starting Monday, February 2.
The change will start with the launch of a new morning show “The Jump” hosted by Kyle Madson and Jesse Tapia from 7-9am. Madson, who serves as Brand Manager of KIFM, had been co-hosting “The Insiders” with James Ham since September 2023. He previously served as a producer at sister “95.7 The Game” KGMZ San Francisco and held host and producer roles at “Sports 1140” KHTK Sacramento and manages San Francisco 49ers focused NinersWire.com. Tapia moves up from a production role at the station to co-host mornings.
ESPN Radio’s The Rich Eisen Show will be added from 9am to 12pm with a replay of “The Jump” following from 12-2pm. Current 12-4pm hosts Damien ‘D-Lo’ Barling and Kenny ‘KC’ Caraway will move to afternoons from 2-6pm.
Former midday co-host James Ham will focus on his role as Sacramento Kings reporter for the stations and will regularly contribute to both local shows.
Madson commented, “Jesse brings a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm for sports, and we’re excited to evolve our lineup with the launch of ‘The Jump,’ bringing high-energy to Sacramento mornings. By moving the unmatched wit of D-Lo & KC to the full afternoon drive and having James as our Kings Insider across all shows, we’re doubling down on the local insight and personality that defines Northern California sports radio.”
Tapia added, “I’m grateful for the opportunity. Hosting is something I’ve wanted to do since I was a kid, and I can’t wait to be on air with Kyle talking sports and just having fun on the radio.”
