Sactown Sports 1140 is reshaping its afternoon lineup with the addition of a familiar and proven voice. The Sacramento-based sports radio station announced that Allen Stiles will join The Drive Guys with Kevin Gleason as a full-time co-host beginning Monday, January 12, expanding the show’s perspective during one of the most competitive dayparts in sports radio.
The move pairs Stiles with Kevin “Whitey” Gleason, a long-established presence in the Sacramento market. It signals the station’s commitment to deepen local connections and strengthen its afternoon drive lineup. The Drive Guys airs weekdays from 2 to 6 p.m. It serves as a flagship program for fans of regional and national sports.
“Friday will be my last day on the midday show,” said Stiles during the announcement made earlier today on The Carmichael Dave Show. “Just want to thank you, and appreciate everything.”
Stiles is already a well-known personality among Sactown Sports listeners. He currently hosts The Allen Stiles Show, which runs weekdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. His transition into the afternoon drive expands his role within the station for his analysis and personality.
As to who will be replacing Stiles in middays, the station will reveal that news later this week.
Sacramento Kings play-by-play voice Kyle Draper served in afternoons along with Gleason from 2023 till last month. There has been no official word on if he will be a candidate for the open midday timeslot.
Stiles continued to share his thoughts on the move to open his program on Tuesday.
“It’s an extremely fortunate opportunity for me. I’m really excited about it,” said Stiles.
From a programming standpoint, the pairing brings together two broadcasters with distinct styles. Gleason’s decades of experience covering Sacramento sports are complemented by Stiles’ energetic delivery and approach to sports talk. Together, the duo is expects to offer layered conversations that balance opinion, insight, and accessibility.
The show’s focus will remain centered on the Sacramento Kings and San Francisco 49ers, while continuing to cover the NBA, NFL, and major national storylines. The addition of Stiles underscores Sactown Sports 1140’s broader strategy of investing in local talent and strengthening its core lineup as competition for audience attention continues to intensify across platforms.
