ESPN Radio to Overhaul Weekday Lineup Beginning August 17th

ESPN Radio announced today that they will be restructuring their weekday lineup beginning August 17th. The changes include a new morning show featuring Keyshawn Johnson and Jay Williams, the return of Mike Greenberg to ESPN Radio, and Max Kellerman getting his own radio show for the first time. "Our new lineup will provide sports fans informative and engaging content throughout the week from hosts who all have radio experience," said Norby Williamson, executive vice president & executive editor, production in an official press release.
