Roggin to Host Radio Show

Fred Roggin is jumping into the Los Angeles radio sports-talk fray. Beginning Jan. 7, Roggin will have a daily weekday show, 2-3 p.m., on KMPC (1540).

Roggin, who has been a sports news anchor at Channel 4 since 1980, will remain with the station and do his radio show from the NBC studios in Burbank.

“I was surprised when they came to me,” Roggin said, “but it certainly appealed to me. It gives me a chance to expand on what I do.”

KMPC last week announced a new show with Chris Myers and Bob Golic, weekdays from 3-7 p.m., beginning Monday. That show will soon have Roggin’s show as a lead-in.
