Fox Sports 980 in Albany, New York is losing long time broadcaster Rodger Wyland to cross-town rival 104.5 The Team. That’s put them in a position where they’ve been forced to adjust their programming schedule.
The radio station confirms that “The Dan Patrick Show” will now air live from 9a-noon, “The Herd with Colin Cowherd” will run from noon to 3pm, and local radio personality Tred Hulse will take over as host of afternoon drive from 3 to 6pm.
SVP of Programming John Cooper says, ““FOX Sports 980 now offers the best Sports Talk lineup in the Capital District. Dan Patrick live, followed by Colin Cowherd, The Tred Show, and Jay Mohr, it doesn’t get much better than that for local Sports fans!”
