KFXX, Portland’s longest-running all-sports radio station, will have three consecutive local weekday programs starting Tuesday, the station announced Monday.
From 10 a.m. to noon, the station — also known as 1080 The Fan — will broadcast “Hard Count with Dirt and Sprague.” That will be followed by a new show, “Dusty and Cam in the Afternoon,” that will run noon to 3 p.m.
The station’s long-running anchor show, “Primetime with Isaac and Suke,” will remain in its 3-7 p.m. slot. KFXX will retain two ESPN national shows, with “Mike & Mike” running from 3-7 a.m., and “The Herd with Collin Cowherd” going from 7-10 a.m. Cowherd’s show originated as a Portland show on KFXX before he took it ESPN.
“We have achieved a dream scenario for our lineup,” KFXX program director Jeff Austin said in a release. “‘Hard Count with Dirt and Sprague’ and ‘Dusty and Cam’ represent the strongest midday content The FAN has ever had. With Mike & Mike and Colin Cowherd starting the day and Isaac and Suke anchoring the drive home, we believe we offer listeners an all-day sports and entertainment home.”
“Dusty and Cam” will be co-hosted by Dusty Harrah, a long-time KFXX employee whose profile has gotten a big boost as co-host of the “Trail Blazers Pulse” TV show on Comcast SportsNet Northwest. Harrah also had been producing “Primetime,” the station’s mainstay show hosted by Isaac Ropp and Jason Scukanec.
Harrah will be joined by Cam Cleeland, a former NFL tight end who had been dabbling in radio and TV commentary. Cleeland, a native of Sedro-Woolley, Washington, played at the University of Washington and seven years in the NFL, with stints with New Orleans, New England and St. Louis.
