Entercom has announced a new afternoon drive show on WJZ 105.7 FM The Fan, the flagship station of the Baltimore Orioles and Maryland Terrapins.

The station welcomes RADIO.COM SPORTS and CBS Sports Insider Jason La Canfora to co-host “Inside Access” alongside longtime station on-air personality Ken Weinman. “Inside Access” will air weekdays from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. ET.

The station subsequently announces that on-air personality Jeremy Conn will host the evening show, weekdays from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Conn will also co-host “Orioles Baseball Tonight” and lead on content creation for the station’s digital platforms. On-air personality Scott Garceau, who was announced as the new play-by-play broadcaster and pregame and postgame host for Orioles gameday broadcasts on MASN-TV, will contribute Orioles and Baltimore Ravens coverage to 105.7 The Fan on a weekly basis. All changes will be effective March 9.

“This revamped programming schedule will allow us to continue providing around-the-clock content for Baltimore’s biggest sports fans,” said Tracy Brandys, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Entercom Baltimore. “Adding Jason and Ken to our already successful lineup is a big win for our market. We are also excited about Scott and Jeremy’s new roles. All are an integral part of the success of 105.7 The Fan.”

“I am blessed to have this opportunity,” said La Canfora. “Hosting a sports show in my hometown is a dream come true. Ken and I have been hoping for this opportunity for a long time and cannot wait to get started.”
