More changes at 98.7 “The Fan”, evening host Todd Wright is apparently out at the FM sports talker. He tweeted the following Monday: “Thanks to @987TheFan for allowing me to launch the station. Good people like @CommishOnline , @Monika987thefan & @RBIrich take it from here.”
Nanci “Sports Babe” Donnellan will move from overnights to Wright’s 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. time slot for the time being.
I’d look for Todd Wright to re-enter national radio somewhere. He never seemed to feel comfortable at “The Fan” since it debuted last August.
