Longtime local TV sportscaster and radio host Fred Roggin has signed on to do 12p-3p on The Beast 980, Los Angeles’s new all-sports lineup beginning later this month. Roggin’s show will follow Jim Rome each weekday.
“I’ve been fortunate to be on NBC4 for over 30 years and I look forward to it every day,” Roggin said. “I started my career in radio and can’t wait to be part of one of the most exciting things to happen on L.A. radio in years. I’m ready to go BEAST mode!”
“We are ecstatic to have the dean of L.A. sports join our team.” The Beast 980 Program Director Owen Murphy said. “His credibility and knowledge is unquestionable and no one connects with the L.A. sports audience as well as Fred does.”
