WTIC-AM in Hartford calls the move a “game-changer” in afternoon drive as it will debut the “Joe D and Gresh” sports talk program today at 3pm EST.
Joe D’Ambrosio is a New York sports fan and Andy Gresh favors the Boston teams. D’Ambrosio – an award-winning sportscaster – has been with WTIC for 23 years, serving as the “voice” of the UConn Huskies. Gresh most recently worked at WBZ-FM, Boston “98.5 The Sports Hub” in middays.
WTIC-AM OM Steve Salhany says, “We are excited to begin this next chapter of afternoon drive on WTIC. Sports has always been a huge part of WTIC Radio and now we are dedicating time every afternoon for sports fans, regardless of where their loyalties lie, to come together and talk about their teams.”
The station’s previous full-time afternoon host was former Connecticut Governor John Rowland, recently sentenced for election law violations, his second federal conviction.
