"We're thrilled to launch an exciting new lineup of compelling and dynamic voices on 980 The Team," said Entercom Washington DC Senior VP/Market Manager Ivy Savoy-Smith. "The station's sound will reflect the passion and sound of the DMV sports fan and provide a full day of premier content, led by market veterans who know the city's sports landscape as well as anyone."

As part of the updates, the station welcomes longtime Washington and Baltimore sports media veteran Travis Thomas as midday host.

Market veterans Chris Russell and Pete Medhurst join together for "Russell and Medhurst," weekdays from 3-7pm. Russell has appeared in a variety of roles for 106.7 The Fan and 980 The Team since 2009, and is also Sports Illustrated's Washington Football Team correspondent.
