Stephen A. Smith, who previously hosted 1050 ESPN Radio’s Stephen A. Smith Show noon-2 p.m. weekdays, will now host New York’s 2-4 p.m. slot, with the final hour going national on ESPN Radio. Smith is an ESPN NBA analyst, appearing on many of its platforms, as well as a regular Sunday morning SportsCenter contributor. He is a former reporter and columnist for the New York Daily News and Philadelphia Inquirer.
“I’m elated for this tremendous opportunity and I appreciate the faith ESPN has shown in me,” Smith said. “New York listeners and NBA fans have gotten a taste of my no-holds-barred mentality, and now the rest of the country is about to find out as well.”
Smith will continue to be joined by Mike Missanelli, a former Philadelphia Inquirer sportswriter. Prior to joining 1050 ESPN Radio, he was talk host at all-sports 610 WIP-AM in Philadelphia where he also served as nightly sports anchor at WPHL-TV, winning a Mid-Atlantic Emmy Award.
