Afternoon host Jake Asman added, “Houston has become my home for the last 3 years and I’m so excited for this opportunity to talk about the teams and storylines that fans in this city care about. From the Texans to the Astros, to the Rockets, to anything big nationally we are going to have you covered. I can’t wait for the city to hear all the fun that we’re going to bring every afternoon!”
Asman’s partner Cody Stoots is equally enthusiastic about the new afternoon show: “Excited would be an understatement. I’m thrilled with the opportunity we have in front of us at ESPN 97.5 and 92.5. Jake and Brad are going to be great partners. With football season here and an Astros playoff run on deck we can’t wait to get started!”
Brad Kellner, who recently exited 104.9 The Horn in Austin to be part of the new afternoon trio chimed in as well, adding: “I am incredibly fired up to be a part of the new afternoon show at ESPN 97.5 and 92.5! The opportunity to join the top station in one of the best sports cities in America is a dream come true for me and I can’t wait to get started. I’m especially looking forward to working with Jake and Cody to bring Houstonians the best sports radio experience available.”

Faour previously co-hosted ‘The Blitz’ with AJ Hoffman who recently exited the station for an opportunity in Las Vegas.
