Fox Sports Radio has tabbed Kelvin Washington to join Rob Parker on “The Odd Couple” from 7-10pm Eastern/4-7pm Pacific starting Monday, September 16.
Washington will succeed Chris Broussard, who is departing the network after eight years to focus on FS1’s “First Things First” that he co-hosts with Nick Wright and Kevin Wildes. Washington currently holds roles as morning anchor on Spectrum News 1 SoCal and Los Angeles Dodgers pre and post-game shows on SportsNet LA, both roles he will remain in. He has been a contributor to FSR for many years.
Washington said, “I’m grateful to the folks at FOX Sports Radio for this tremendous opportunity. I also want to thank Chris Broussard for his blessing. Rob and I have worked together in radio and TV over the years, and I’m confident we’ll continue the impressive legacy that the ‘Odd Couple” has created and make a name for ourselves!”
Rob Parker added, “Chris has been an incredible partner, and he will be missed, but I look forward to continuing the tradition of ‘The Odd Couple’ with Kelvin. I’ve known Kelvin for years and he’s a great fit. This show will continue to be fun and informative! Wake the kids and call the neighbors about this exciting new version of ‘The Odd Couple.’”
In a joint statement iHeartMedia Sports Executive Vice President of Programming Don Martin and Fox Sports Radio SVP/Programming Scott Shapiro said, “We’ve known and worked with Kelvin for many years, and we couldn’t be happier to welcome him to the FOX Sports Radio family in a full-time capacity. We’re confident Rob and Kelvin will be a powerful, and often hilarious, combination as we continue our mission to deliver the best sports entertainment programming nationwide.”
