Two New Shows Featuring Signature Hosts Added to ESPN’s National Network Lineup

ESPN today announced a new schedule for ESPN NY 98.7 FM featuring an expansive 16 hours of local studio programming between 6 a.m. and midnight every weekday beginning Jan. 3.

The new lineup features the continuation of fan-favorite Bart & Hahn in the 12-3 p.m. slot, with the duo now exclusive to 98.7 and focused entirely on New York. Former New York Jets linebacker, NFL Pro Bowler and current co-host across Jets gameday coverage on SNY, Bart Scott and five-time Emmy Award winning broadcaster with MSG Network’s New York Knicks coverage, Alan Hahn will be connecting with local fans on the most impactful and timely storylines across New York sports both on and off the field.

“We are always looking for the best ways to serve sports fans and we are excited to bring even more New York flavor and content to local fans throughout their day on 98.7,” said Scott McCarthy, vice president, ESPN Audio. “Expanding DiPietro & Rothenberg in morning drive and being fortunate enough to have Bart & Hahn as a local New York-focused show will create consistency for listeners and give our hosts a greater opportunity to engage with audiences, and each other, on the day’s top stories.”

On Tuesday, Jan. 3, ESPN’s national network lineup will debut two new shows featuring signature hosts in the afternoon and evening windows.

Fitz & Harry (12-3 p.m.)

Fitz will move to the afternoon with ESPN analyst and former 10-year NFL veteran Harry Douglas. Douglas, a contributor across various ESPN studio shows, digital football shows including hosting Countdown to College GameDay, and a mainstay across the radio network in weekend and fill-in roles, will make his daily ESPN Radio debut. Fitz and Douglas – who have worked together on ESPN’s digital shows – will bring their high-energy style, unique perspective, strong opinions and urgency to the network lineup.

Fitz & Harry move into the Bart & Hahn timeslot as Bart & Hahn shifts its focus to a fully-local, three-hour show in New York on 98.7.
