The 31-year-old Wright, who has hosted KILT's morning show with John Lopez since 2012, said he will have a regular role on a Fox Sports 1 weekday show, the details of which have yet to be announced by the network, to be hosted by "one of the network's most recognizable personalities."
The Houston Chronicle reports his final show on KILT will be Friday, April 8.
"As much as I enjoyed my time in Houston, I told the people at CBS four years ago that if I left Houston the only place I would go was Los Angeles for some kind of national opportunity, and that is what I have," Wright said.
Fox had no immediate comment on Wright's hiring, but his opinionated style fits with the desire of Jamie Horowitz, the president of Fox Sports National Networks and a former ESPN executive, to bring "opinionists" for FS1 and FS2 to compete against ESPN's established shows.Ryan McCredden, KILT's program director, said he has received more than a hundred applications for the morning drive time opening and said he hopes to have a replacement for Wright on board as soon as possible.
Wright was previously on-air at KCSP 610 AM in Kansas City.I'll give more details on the new TV show with @FS1 when I can. For now, a Thank You to everyone in Houston. https://t.co/eRCgYVYrQv— nick wright (@getnickwright) March 28, 2016
