Dial Global and NBC Sports Radio today announced the hiring of four sportscasters to round out its roster in time for the network’s launch on Tuesday, September 4. Former NFL pro Amani Toomer and radio veterans Eytan Shander, Dan Schwartzman and Kay Adams are joining the team as show hosts and update announcers.

Amani Toomer and Eytan Shander will host Amani and Eytan on NBC Sports Radio in the 10pm-1am ET timeslot, Monday-Friday; The Dan Schwartzman Show will air live Tuesday-Saturday between 1am-5am ET; Kay Adams will anchor the NBC Sports Radio national updates between 5pm-10pm ET, Monday-Friday, and she will also be appearing regularly on the previously announced The Erik Kuselias Show, Monday-Friday between 7pm-10pm ET.

Amani Toomer spent 13 years as a wide receiver for the New York Giants, retiring as the team’s all-time leader in receptions and receiving yards and winning a Super Bowl in 2008. His post-playing career as a sportscaster includes being a regular contributor to NBC SportsTalk on NBC Sports Network, SiriusXM NFL Radio, and MSG’s Varsity's coverage of Friday Night Football.

Eytan Shander was most recently a national host and update anchor on Mad Dog Radio on SiriusXM. He’s also hosted radio shows and anchored updates in Philadelphia at WIP and WPEN, WWTN Nashville as well as other stops. Eytan was also the locker room correspondent for the Tennessee Titans post-game show during his time in Nashville.

Dan Schwartzman spent years hosting weekdays in Philadelphia on WPEN as well as most recently with ESPN Radio New York, among other stops.

Kay Adams hosts SiriusXM’s The Fantasy Drive and Livin’ the Fantasy. She also served as in-game host for the St. Louis Cardinals for two years.

Chris Corcoran, Executive Vice President, General Manager adds, “We are collecting some excellent young talent who are ready for the big stage in their careers. Not only are we adding a second Super Bowl Champ to our roster who has been training for this big moment, but we’re selecting talent that will make a big impact on a national level for our affiliates and our advertisers."

Toomer is the second NBC Sports Radio sportscaster to have won a Super Bowl.
