CBS Radio to enter Cleveland market with 'The Fan' on WKRK-FM, 92.3

The long-rumored entry of another sports-talk radio station into Cleveland's media market is official.

"What we are launching is literally a radio station for 'The Fan,'" Mr. Roth said in the release. "For Clevelanders who live and breathe sports 24/7, this will be the place to get the best insight, most in-depth coverage and a well-rounded balance of listener participation, all presented in an entertaining forum."CBS Radio announced in a news release that 92.3 The Fan, on 92.3 WKRK-FM, will launch Aug. 29. Andy Roth, a veteran of sports radio in New York City, Philadelphia and Buffalo, was named the station's program director.

The station will compete with Cleveland's other all-sports station, ESPN 850, WKNR-AM. In an instant coup, 92.3 will be home to Westwood One's coverage of the NFL, formerly played on WKNR.

Kevin Kiley and Cleveland native Chuck Booms will occupy 92.3's morning-drive slot, competing against ESPN's "Mike and Mike in the Morning." In the afternoon, Adam "The Bull," formerly of WFAN in New York, will fill the afternoon drive-time slot from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.

CBS Radio owns 14 other all-sports stations. They are in New York (WFAN-AM), Washington, D.C., Charlotte, Chicago, Boston, Pittsburgh, Dallas, Detroit, Riverside, Calif., Houston, Tampa, Sacramento, Philadelphia and Baltimore.

WKNR is pretty sad, so I'm glad to hear that there'll be another option.

amen, brother jv.

cbs radio does sports really well.

my bet is that soon cbs sports radio will move up the fm dial to the more powerful 98.5.
