Fox Sports Radio has announced a revised weekend lineup timed to the launch of the football season.
The new lineup will be centered around the launch of two new shows. The Herd with Colin Cowherd co-host Joy Taylor will lead her own show on Saturdays from 2-4pm. Prior to joining Fox Sports in 2016, Taylor spent three years in mornings at “790 The Ticket” WAXY and has been part of Cowherd’s show since 2018.

Covino & Rich spent sixteen years at SiriusXM and have also hosted shows for ESPN and SNY in New York.
Fox Sports Radio will also simulcast Fox television’s Big Noon Kickoff, Fox NFL Kickoff and Fox NFL Sunday.
