Sports Radio 950 KJR in Seattle has added “The Barbershop” to its lineup. The radio program hosted by former Seattle Seahawks and University of Washington player Marcus Trufant, and former Husky Terry “T-Holla” Hollimon will occupy Wednesday night’s 6p-8:30p on the radio station. All Access was first to report this story.
“The Barbershop” was previously available as a podcast and evening show on 710 ESPN. Gee Scott, who hosts evenings on 710 was also part of the original mix.
“We’re so excited to host ‘The Barbershop’ and continue what we love to do,” said Trufant. “We wanted to create a show that could cover sports news in a fun way that goes beyond just stats and facts, and we know it will connect with local sports fans.”
“We couldn’t be more excited to add ‘The Barbershop’ to our line-up,” said iHeart Media Seattle SVP/Programming Rich Moore. “The show is a great fit for our coverage of the Seahawks and enhances Seattle’s first choice for NFL coverage.”
