FOX Sports Radio is adding veteran sports media personality Chris Broussard to its roster as an on-air host, opinionist and NBA analyst. He’ll make frequent appearances across the network as a guest and contributor, plus launch the first of two weekend programs this Saturday, November 12th. Co-hosted by FSR personality Brian Noe, the duo will broadcast 5p-8p PT on 200 stations nationwide, in addition to FOX Sports Radio’s channel on iHeartRadio, iHeartMedia’s industry-leading digital radio platform.
Broussard is also expected to add a Sunday radio program in 2017, and will continue his role as FS1’s new NBA analyst, providing insights for FS1’s studio shows, including Skip And Shannon: Undisputed, The Herd with Colin Cowherd and Speak For Yourself.
“I want to thank FOX Sports Radio and FS1 for providing me with the platform to share my sports views and opinions, which have been developed over my 20 years of covering professional sports, particularly the NBA,” stated Broussard. “I can’t wait to hit the airwaves in my new role with Brian Noe. Together, we’ll bring listeners a show that is smart, entertaining and insightful.”
“Having worked with Chris for many years, he is a total pro who brings unmatched perspective to the airwaves,” shared Scott Shapiro, FOX Sports Radio Vice President of Sports Programming. “Whether he’s sharing his expertise on the NBA or opining on the topics of the day, Chris is going to shine in his role with FOX Sports Radio, while making our growing network that much stronger.”
Broussard came to FOX Sports from ABC and ESPN television, where he contributed to many ESPN studio shows including SportsCenter, as well as ESPN The Magazine and ESPN.com. Broussard has shared the small screen with some of the NBA’s legendary figures, including Magic Johnson, with whom he co-starred on the “KIA NBA Countdown Show” during the 2011-2012 season. His achievements led to his being named one of the 100 Black History Makers of 2012 by Thegrio.com, the African-American news arm of NBC.
