Covino & Rich

This past weekend marked a milestone for FOX Sports Radio personalities Steve Covino and Rich Davis as they celebrated 20 years of their partnership on the airwaves. The duo, known for their weekday show "Covino & Rich," have entertained audiences with their unique blend of sports commentary and entertainment since their program's inception.

The show, which airs weekdays from 5-7pm ET, is broadcast on over 300 stations and has seen substantial growth. According to the latest Nielsen Audio ratings, "Covino & Rich" experienced a 47% increase in listenership among adults aged 25-54 in the spring of 2024, and a 22% increase in the fall of 2023 compared to the previous year.

Davis commented on their success, saying, "We feel like we're doing our best work at FOX Sports Radio and still getting better. Despite 20 years together and my teams winning zero championships, I hope to have more to brag about in the next 20. Somehow, we still really enjoy each other's company."

Covino added, "Twenty years might as well be 120 years in this industry, so it's hard to believe we're celebrating this milestone and somehow still the youngest in the game. We genuinely love what we do. We stay true to ourselves and have had a blast every step of the way. We consider our listeners as friends, so with their support and the amazing team at FOX Sports Radio, we know the best is yet to come."

The duo originally teamed up on December 15, 2004, on Maxim Radio on Sirius Satellite Radio. They joined FOX Sports Radio in September, 2021 as part of the network's weekend football lineup and were promoted to their current weekday slot a year later.

In addition to their radio show, Covino and Rich launched an original video series and podcast in September 2023 called "Overpromised with Covino & Rich." This new venture takes audiences through the hottest headlines and trends that didn't make it onto their daily radio show. The series is available on FOX Sports Radio's YouTube page, with the podcast accessible on iHeartRadio and other platforms.
