WMFS-FM & AM (92.9 FM ESPN) Memphis has announced a series of weekday programming updates that will take effect January 12, including expanded local shows and the departure of a longtime on-air voice. Under the new schedule, "J&J" with John Martin and Jason Smith will air weekdays from 9am-12pm CT. "Jeffrey Wright and Company" expands to a three-hour program-, airing middays from 12-3pm CT.

The changes follow the announcement that veteran columnist and host Geoff Calkins will depart the station after 16 years to focus full time on his role at the Daily Memphian. A founding on-air presence who helped launch the station in 2010, Calkins will make his final broadcast on January 9, concluding a tenure that included a highly rated morning show and long-running evening segments.

"Since helping launch the station in 2010, Geoff Calkins defined the brand through his unique ability to blend smart, prepared sports storytelling with deeply resonant coverage of the broader Memphis community," said Brad Carson, Brand Manager and Operations Manager at 92.9 FM ESPN. "We're excited for the new generation of talent he personally mentored to build upon the powerful legacy he leaves behind."

The updated weekday lineup at 92.9 FM ESPN will be Unsportsmanlike (6am-9am), J&J with John Martin and Jason Smith (9am-12pm), Jeffrey Wright and Company (12-3pm), and The Gabe Kuhn Show with former Memphis lineman Gabe Kuhn (3-6pm).

Now in its 15th year as the flagship station for the Memphis Grizzlies, 92.9 FM ESPN is a three-time Marconi Award nominee and was honored in 2024 with the Tennessee Broadcaster Award for Best Sports Coverage.
