ESPN 700 in Salt Lake City is making adjustments to its lineup. The radio station recently split up the afternoon team of Bill Riley and Sean O’Connell, giving Riley an opportunity to take the reigns of a solo program from 11a-2p and pairing O’Connell with Keith Stubbs in afternoon drive.
However, the afternoon experiment was short lived, as Stubbs left the afternoon show after just a few weeks. O’Connell is currently listed as a solo act in afternoons on the radio station’s website but the company is said to be looking at a few options as possibilities to join O’Connell permanently in afternoons.
