So could his difficulty be that he conducts a 11: 15 nightly live LA sports broadcast and does morning news bites, and now he has to get up at 5:00 am at the latest after going to bed at 12:00 midnight at the earliest. That won't work long term so something else had to give.


I used to watch him at 2:15 but now with the new times for my daughters school, I am in bed before 1.

KFWB (The Beast 980)/Los Angeles Moves Fred Roggin To Afternoon Drive

October 15, 2015 at 12:26 PM (PT)

KFWB ASSET TRUST Sports KFWB-A (THE BEAST 980)/LOS ANGELES fills the open afternoon slot in its schedule by moving midday host and NBC O&O KNBC-TV sports anchor FRED ROGGIN to 3-6p (PT) weekdays beginning MONDAY (10/19). Previous co-host BRETT WINTERBLE exited to join MIDWEST TELEVISION/SDLOCAL News-Talk KFMB-A/SAN DIEGO for afternoons in SEPTEMBER; his "THE DRIVE" co-host GEORGE WRIGHSTER also exited and is appearing as a studio commentator for FS1.

“After eating lunch and spending the day at work with our listeners, we thought it would be fun to drive home with them,” said ROGGIN. “For the record, we fit into all cars.”

“The new time slot allows FRED to reach a wider local sports audience with more people in their cars for the afternoon commute,” said PD TOM LEE. “With the addition of '(BILL) PLASCHKE & (JEANNE) ZELASKO' L.A. sports fans will now be able to spend both their morning and afternoon commutes with iconic LOS ANGELES sports insiders.”

So, for the record, we nailed it.

TSFH posted an article from the 8th saying this was going to happen.

As Fred would say, we told you it was going to happen and it happened.

Yesterday we made a little noise about the way Fred was handling it and today they just came out and told us what was going on.

You're welcome America...
