97.9 ESPN in Hartford, CT will soon be under the watchful eye of a brand new Program Director after current PD Dave Zaslowsky announced via his Facebook page (see below) his intentions to head home to Chicago and join 89 WLS.
Zaslowsky who previously spent time programming for the ESPN Radio Network, had Programmed the radio station for the past 4-years and had done an excellent job. Among his biggest accomplishments was landing Rob Dibble to host afternoons. No word yet on who his replacement will be. His first day back home in Chicago will be July 1st.
