Sports WPRT-FM (ESPN 102.5 The Game) Nashville signs afternoon hosts Jared Stillman and Floyd Reese (aka Jared & The GM) to two-year contract extensions, keeping them in place through September, 2021. The duo assumed afternoons in August, 2016. Reese, who formerly served as the GM of the Tennessee Titans, previously co-hosted afternoons with George Plaster and Willy Daunic (now midday co-host) before Stillman, who previously handled 9am-noon.

"I'm thrilled that we're continuing our partnership with these two talented individuals," said owner Bud Walters. "Jared Stillman's wealth of sports knowledge and his passion for engaging listeners to consider all sides of any discussion makes for compelling radio. Floyd Reese is an NFL and sports icon and a perfect counter-balance to Jared. He shares stories and unique insights that no one else can in a very humble manner. Together they are a Nashville sports enthusiast's treasure."

"Being the co-host of Jared & the GM the last three years has been an honor and a dream come true," added Stillman. "Nashville is the best city in America and I couldn't be more excited to be staying here for the foreseeable future... I can promise we will continue to work as hard as ever to give listeners the same daily, thought-provoking, entertaining drive home every day."

"Jared has been an absolute pleasure to work with since we started together three years ago," said Reese. "We strive to be the best show possible on a daily basis by discussing the most popular sports topics in Nashville and we're proud of what we've accomplished to this point. Bud Walters has done a great job of developing a great working culture at Cromwell Radio and I'm honored to be a part of it."
