640 Sports WMEN-AM has let go Troy Stradford as their late morning host on Friday. The former Miami Dolphins running back and Boston College grad had been with the station since it flipped to a sports format in 2008. He also co-hosted a Sunday midday NFL show with Orlando Alzugaray since 2011. Stradford will continue as a high school football game analyst on Comcast Xfinity.
Former Miami Dolphins offensive linesman Keith Sims will take over the late morning spot as of Monday. Sims has been the sideline reporter for the Miami Dolphins Radio Network since 2011. He is also a panelist on The Finsiders Show heard at 940 The Sports Animal WINZ-AM weekday afternoons.
It was noticeable that Stradford's show was being infringed on by the Sid Rosenberg morning show since it debuted on August 13. Rosenberg was allowed to continue his show past the 10 a.m. sign off. This would cut Stradford's two-hour show between twenty minutes to one hour. Stradford complained publicly on the air several times about the matter including this past Thursday.
The one strange thing over the last two years was that Stradford went on another sports station in the Miami market at 940 The Sports Animal as an afternoon co-host and panelist on the Finsiders Show with Jesse Agler. It is considered unethical to work for two competing radio stations or radio broadcast companies in the same media market. Either 640 Sports management allowed it or they were never aware of it the entire time.
