CBS Radio’s 560 WQAM today announced former Miami Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder will join Marc Hochman and Zach Krantz on the station’s weekday 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. afternoon show, effective Tuesday, August 11. The new program will be entitled Hochman, Crowder and Krantz.
Crowder was most recently co-host of the station’s weekday 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. midday program.
“We’re excited to bring Channing back on the air in this new role,” WQAM Program Director Ryan Maguire said. “His insight as a former college and professional football player as well as his one-of-a-kind brand of humor will be a great addition to what Marc and Zach bring to the table every day. This is going to be a very unique, locally focused program that will be entertaining and insightful.”
Crowder started at WQAM as a contributor in 2009, while still a player for the Dolphins. The former All-SEC linebacker at the University of Florida made 74 starts for the Dolphins before embarking on a career in sports broadcasting.
“I’m excited to get back behind the mic at WQAM and for the opportunity to work with Hoch and Zach,” Crowder said. “We’re going to bring listeners a different kind of show they won’t be able to find anywhere else.”
