Audacy’s CBS Sports Radio will debut a revised lineup on Tuesday, January 2.
Completing the lineup changes caused by Maggie Gray & Andrew Perloff’s move from afternoons to mornings at the start of October following Damon Amendolara’s move to SiriusXM, CBS Sports Radio is moving two hosts up to earlier timeslots.
Zach Gelb will move from 6-10pm Eastern/3-7pm Pacific up to the 3-6pm Eastern/12-3pm Pacific afternoon drive slot. Gelb has been on CBS Sports Radio since 2018 and heard in the evening slot since 2020 after originally hosting weekend overnights. He has also held on-air roles at 920 WNJE Trenton NJ, 94.1 WIP and 97.5 WPEN-FM Philadelphia, 660/101.9 WFAN New York, and SiriusXM’s NFL and Mad Dog Radio.
JRSportBrief moves up from 10pm-2am Eastern/7-11pm Pacific into Gelb’s early evening timeslot. JR joined the network lineup in 2020 after stints as an update anchor/fill-in host at WFAN and morning co-host at “V103” WVEE Atlanta.
Moving from weekends to fill the late night slot will be Bart Winkler. Winkler previously hosted mornings on Audacy’s “105.7 The Fan” 1250 WSSP Milwaukee from 2016 until it dropped all local programming in 2022. Winkler also was Program Director/morning host at Hot AC “K107.1” WFON-FM Fond du Lac WI from 2008 to 2015.
The remainder of the lineup with Bill Reiter from 10am-12pm, Jim Rome from 12-3pm, and Amy Lawrence 2-6am remains in-tact.
