In October, Chad Doing returned home to Portland and signed on with Rip City Radio 620 to host the station’s pre and post-game coverage surrounding Portland Trail Blazers basketball. Now after a few months, Rip City is ready to give Doing a heavier workload.
Effective today, Rip City Radio has added Doing to the afternoon show alongside Travis Demers. The Portland veteran enjoyed success as a member of 1080 The Fan and 750 The Game before taking a two year detour to host the morning show for 95.7 The Game in the Bay Area. His involvement as host of the station’s Blazers Warmup and 5th Quarter shows remains unchanged.
In addition to hosting the afternoon program, Demers also has a hand in managing the station’s programming. By adding Doing to the show it not only strengthens the program, but it gives Demers some flexibility to tackle other station business without having to worry about it compromising the show.
