Nashville Radio: Floyd Reese EXITS 102.5 The Game

Floyd Reese

Longtime radio personality and former Tennessee Titans General Manager Floyd Reese is stepping away from what had been evening show Jared & the GM after more than five years as co-host. The program aired from 2-6 p.m. Monday through Friday on WPRT ESPN 102.5 The Game.

In the interim, the evening show will be renamed Stillman & Company and the station announced it has begun a search for a new co-host, reports The Nashville Post.

“This is something I’ve been contemplating for a while and I feel it’s time for me to take a step back,” Reese said in a release. “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my tenure with 102.5 The Game and doing a show with Jared has been a terrific experience. He and I formed a unique partnership that allowed us to be teammates and friends. I’d also like to thank Cromwell Media owner, Bud Walters, and (program director) Ryan Porth for their non-stop support over the years. It’s been a good run.”

Reese accomplished a lot during his 37-year NFL career that saw stints as the GM of the Oilers (1990-1999) and the Titans (1999-2006) before finishing as a senior football advisor for the New England Patriots (2009-2012).

He joined 102.5-FM in 2015 and joined Jared & the GM in August 2016. The show replaced Sports Night, the station’s longtime evening program that ended when George Plaster left to take a job in Belmont’s athletics department.

“On behalf of everyone at the radio station, I want to thank Floyd for the many years of on-air expertise and entertainment he provided on a daily basis,” Porth said. “He was a tremendous asset to our brand, given his wealth of football knowledge, and a fantastic individual for us to have called a teammate. He also provided a unique dynamic with Jared in the afternoons that will certainly be missed. We wish Floyd all the best in his next chapter.”
