Westwood One is expanding its sports lineup with the debut of a new national morning show hosted by sports media personality Drake C. Toll. The program will air weekdays from 6-9am, positioning Toll as the network's latest voice. Toll brings a fast-paced, high-energy approach shaped by his work as a play-by-play broadcaster for the wildly popular Savannah Bananas.

Toll launched his media career in Vilonia, AR, co-founding EagleVision -- named the 2019 Arkansas Sports Network of the Year. While at Baylor University, he contributed to SicEm365 and later Sports Illustrated's Baylor Bears platform. He went on to host Locked On Baylor and later Locked On Big 12, growing it into the top Big 12 podcast in the country. His work has been featured by ESPN, TNT, SI, and Front Office Sports. Toll will continue calling games for the Savannah Bananas alongside the new show.

"Westwood One is the gold standard in audio, and it's an honor to join a brand creatively steeped in sports storytelling," said Toll. "I'm prepared to push the limits of sports talk... We're going to create something special, I promise you that."

"Drake represents exactly what we're building -- a modern, interactive sports experience that is driven by personalities and fueled by fans," added Bruce Gilbert, Senior Vice President, Sports/Content & Audience. "His ability to entertain, connect, and innovate makes him the ideal voice for mornings on Westwood One."
