After the retirement of longtime afternoon host Jimmy Hyams, 99.1 The Sports Animal has made changes to its daily lineup.
John Wilkerson — who was paired with Hyams in afternoon drive for 25 years — has moved to mornings. He is now joined by Vince Ferrara. Their new program — SportsTalk with John and Vince — will air from 6:00-9:00 AM.
With the departure of Hyams and Wilkerson from the afternoon timeslot, the Knoxville sports radio station has paired Tyler Ivens and Will West to take over. Tyler & Will will be heard from 3:00-7:00 PM.
West had departed the station in a full-time capacity in September but now returns to partner with Ivens, who was previously a member of the station’s morning show The Starting Lineup.
Midday offerings from 99.1 The Sports Animal — The Erik Ainge Show with Brian Rice and Josh & Swain — remain unchanged.
