Chris Wittyngham is returning to the Miami radio airwaves as the new pre-game co-host for Dolphins broadcasts this season on 560 WQAM. Wittyngham will team with former Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder as host of Dolphins Gameday on WQAM, KISS 99.9 and the Dolphins Radio Network. Crowder is also a host on WQAM’s afternoon show.
“I’ve been going to Miami Dolphins games since I was seven years old,” said Wittyngham. “It’s an honor to join the broadcast in any capacity. I look forward to working with Channing Crowder to bring South Florida Sports Fans the best Dolphins game day coverage every week.”
“Chris has already established himself locally as a talented, versatile sports media professional,” said WQAM Program Director, Ryan Maguire. “We’re thrilled that he’s agreed to work with us more extensively during the football season.”
Wittyngham previously hosted 790 The Ticket’s afternoon show with Ethan Skolnick. He left the station to join CBSSports.com as a host on their digital channels. Since then, he has also added hosting duties on the BeIN Sports Television Network as a play-by-play announcer of soccer games.
Dolphins Gameday airs two hours prior to kickoff during pre-season games and four hours prior to kickoff for all regular season and playoff games. Following the pre-season, the first two hours will be carried on WQAM only.
