WINZ New Lineup

    940 WINZ-AM The Sports Animal rolled out their new lineup on Wednesday. The station added three new shows as they picked up two local sports hosts that recently worked at other competing stations.
    Jeff DeForrest and Steve Goldstein debuted in the morning shift from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. with the Wake The @#$@ Up Show. Both co-hosted The First Team with Joe Rose on Sports Radio 560 WQAM-AM from late 1996 until December 2001. Goldstein, a.k.a. Goldie, was let go by WQAM as an early afternoon co-host back in October 2012 after a three-year tenure. He remains the television play-by-play announcer of the Florida Panthers. DeForrest, a.k.a. Defo, held the evening shift at WINZ from January 2012 until December 2012. He joined the radio station in July 2010 as a mid-afternoon host and moved to late mornings in September 2010.
     Fomer 640 Sports WMEN-AM late morning host Troy Stradford will join The Amigo and Dizz on the mid-afternoon show as a full-time co-host starting on January 7. He has been a part-time host on that program since November 12 as he worked just Mondays and Thursdays. Stradford worked at 640 Sports from 2008 until October 2012.
    Following the Dan Patrick Show in late mornings, WINZ introduced Jay Mohr as the new midday host on the station as he replaced Jim Rome. Mohr has been a fill-in host for Jim Rome Show for several years on Fox Sports Radio. Jesse Agler will continue to host The Finsiders Show during the afternoon shift.
