The Score 1260 in Syracuse has decided on a new afternoon show. The radio station confirms that Paul Esden will host Drive Time Sports weekday afternoons from 3p-6p ET. Mike Lindsley previously occupied the time slot but left The Score in late November.
Esden is no stranger to Syracuse sports radio listeners. Prior to earning the promotion to afternoons, he served as the executive producer and sports update anchor for the station’s midday show Bud & The Manchild. He’s also covered Syracuse University Athletics as a Senior Columnist for Inside the Loud House for the past two years.
Tom Mitchell, Operations Manager and PD for The Score said, “This is a marvelous opportunity for Paul. His unique and energetic style opens up a fresh perspective to cover not only local sports, but also the best in the national sports arena, every day.”
