Mark Viviano Leaving 105.7-FM's Daily Sports Lineup

Baltimore Sun critic David Zurawik reports sportscaster Mark Viviano confirmed that he will be leaving radio station 105.7 The Fan's daily lineup at the end of the week after 6 and 1/2 years at the station.

Viviano, who hosts a popular show from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. weekdays, said Wednesday night that he had been "pondering the move for several months," according the Z On TV columnist.

"After some time, just the wear of having two full time jobs takes its toll," the 47-year-old sports director at WJZ-TV (Channel 13), explained.

"I have loved every bit of it," he added, "but the cumulative wear adds up and you have to take a step back and reassess things."

Viviano said he's usually out the door on weekday mornings by 7:30 a.m., and he doesn't get home from WJZ-TV until after midnight.

"You're on the air with the radio show for three hours, and you have to put in preparation time, too," he said of his daily job at 105.7 The Fan.

While Viviano will no longer be on the air with a daily show, he said that he will file reports for the station from time to time -- from such places as Baltimore Ravens training camp. He said he might also occasionally "fill in" as a host "at his choosing."
