Some big changes are taking place over at WINZ/Miami. IHeartMedia Sports WIZN has officially rebranded to Fox Sports 940 Miami.

The rebrand happened on Wednesday morning.

The station will continue to air the national Fox Sports Radio lineup along with Miami Marlins baseball and University of Florida football and men’s basketball.

Among these key changes, Fox Sports Radio’s new show 2 Pros and a Cup of Joe featuring Lavar Arrington and Brady Quinn will air during the morning drive time slot. This will be replacing the local morning show by Jeff Deforrest.

Also leaving the lineup is a show at 3pm hosted by Spero ”The Greek” Georgedakis, which will be replaced by The Doug Gottlieb Show in its entirety.

“We are excited to align 940 AM WINZ with a first-class organization like Fox Sports Radio,” said iHeartMedia Miami/Fort Lauterdale Market President Shari Gonzalez.

“This partnership ensures passionate South Florida sports fans, and our 940 advertisers will have access to the nation’s top talk hosts and their insights on the most relevant topics facing teams, athletes, and fans.” added Gonzalez.
