Since 1999, Shepard has hosted shows and has reported on the Detroit Tigers, Pistons, Red Wings and Lions on Fox Sports Detroit.

A Central Michigan University graduate, Shepard previously hosted a morning show on WDFN 1130 AM in Detroit for 13 years before relaunching it last November. He also serves as the radio voice of Michigan basketball and Eastern Michigan football.

“Giving our listeners more local content is always a topic of conversation within our walls, and adding a guy like Matt Shepard to our lineup is going to help us achieve that,” ESPN 100.9-FM General Manager Matt DeVries said. “He brings nearly two decades of experience covering the teams we all care about in this state. And with his show airing in the early afternoon, we’ll now have local sports talk for six hours each day.”
