Joe Fortenbaugh is saying goodbye to KGMZ 95.7 the Game. The morning show host took to Twitter Monday to announce that he’s leaving the radio station for a new opportunity with ESPN which will see him relocate to Las Vegas, Barrett Sports Media reports.
In his post, Fortenbaugh expressed gratitude for so many in San Francisco including his bosses at the Entercom sports station, and his co-hosts and producers. “This has been a wonderful place to work with so many kind souls,” Fortenbaugh wrote.
In addition to establishing himself as a Bay Area radio voice, Fortenbaugh also made a name for himself in the sports betting world. He previously contributed to the National Football Post and wrote freelance columns for USA Today, ESPN.com, SportsIllustrated.com and VegasChatter.com. He’s also hosted The Sharp 600 podcast and appeared on radio stations across the country as a frequent contributor.

ESPN began using Fortenbaugh in March of last year when the network launched The Daily Wager. The show, hosted by Doug Kezirian, frequently featured Fortenbaugh as a participating guest. His new duties with ESPN are still unknown, though he’s expected to have a role in the network’s sports betting content, and contribute across all platforms. That could indicate a more formal announcement is forthcoming.
