An updated weekly programming lineup is coming to 105.7 The Fan (WJZ-FM) in Baltimore, according to a press release put out by Entercom.
This comes just a day after the station announced it reached an agreement with the Baltimore Orioles to remain the organization’s flagship station.
Jerry Coleman, who has served as morning show co-host since 2017, will leave his current role on The Big Bad Morning Show, and will transition to host Sports with Coleman, weekday evenings from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. ET. He will also continue to provide 105.7 The Fan’s “Fan Flashes” throughout the day.
Evening host Jeremy Conn, who has been with the station since 2006 and served as evening show host since 2019, will take over for Coleman as a morning show co-host. He’ll be heard on The Big Bad Morning Show alongside Rob Long and Ed Norris weekdays from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. ET. Conn recently led the station’s “Big Mo Show,” which honored the late Baltimore super fan, Mo Gaba.
“With his vast knowledge of sports and his connections to the sports world, Jerry Coleman was born to host his own show,” said Tracy Brandys, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Entercom Baltimore said in the release. “Jeremy Conn will bring his unique brand of humor, his extensive gambling knowledge, and his signature bits to morning drive. We appreciate both Jerry and Jeremy’s hard work and dedication to 105.7 The Fan and are excited to have two Baltimore natives serve as bookends for our impressive weekday lineup.”
Changes go into effect Feb. 8.
“Switching from the mornings to the evening will allow me to bring back Sports with Coleman and grow my brand,” said Coleman. “I’m grateful to Entercom for this opportunity.”
“I am unbelievably excited and humbled to join The Big Bad Morning Show, said Conn. “I am also nervous to work with two former cops, considering my shady background – thank goodness for the statute of limitations. Ed [Norris], Rob [Long], producer Joe LaCroix and myself will have fun and I am confident Baltimore will laugh their way to work each morning.”
