PITTSBURGH --Say goodbye to popular Pittsburgh radio station B94 and say hello to SportsRadio
93.7 The Fan.
CBS Radio said the change will occur on Feb. 15 at 5:30 a.m. The company said B94-style music will then be featured on Star 100.7.
CBS officials said The Fan will be locally programmed by veteran radio executive Terry Foxx, who was most recently the program director for ESPN Radio in Bristol, Conn.
SportsRadio 93.7 The Fan is being built for Pittsburghs sports fans who are simply the best in the country. Well feature an array of opinionated, compelling and very talented local talk-show personalities who will be highly engaged in discussions and commentary driven by our listeners," said Michael Young, Senior Vice President and Market Manager of CBS RADIO Pittsburgh.
Veteran NewsRadio 1020 KDKA Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn will assume the same position for the FM outlet and provide updates and reports from the field along with Kalena Bell and Jim Colony. The stations lineup and complete roster of talent will be announced prior to the launch of the station.
So what happens to B94's Bubba? CBS officials said he'll move to the same time-period on Star, along with current hosts J.R. Randall and Shelley Duffy. B94s Melanie Taylor will host middays on Star Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
