Dan Sileo At 640 Sports

    Dan Sileo will get a one-week tryout as the afternoon host with 640 Sports WMEN-AM that will run from July 1 until July 5. He was on the Sid Rosenberg Show on Friday morning to make the announcement. Sileo was fired by Sports Radio 560 WQAM-AM back on March 4.
    Sileo joined WQAM in April 2012 when he replaced Sid Rosenberg as the afternoon host at that station. He was moved to the midday shift in early September 2012 when Jorge Sedano took over the afternoon drive. He also added post-game studio analyst duties on the Miami Hurricanes Radio Network for the 2012 season. He lost that position in early January and was suspended for two days in late January because of twitter remarks about Erin Andrews on Fox Sports.
    He played for the University of Miami Hurricanes football team in the mid-1980's as a defensive lineman. Sileo had a stint as an early morning sports host at Fox Sports Radio until late September 2002. He would host a late morning shift at WFXJ-AM in Jacksonville. He was a sports commentator on WJRR-FM in Orlando. Sileo hosted a morning show on several Clear Channel Orlando stations that included WQTM-AM, WFLF-AM and WYGM-AM from early October 2002 until October 2010.
    While in Orlando, his show was syndicated to 620 The Sports Animal WDAE-AM in Tampa Bay. Sileo was the morning host on WDAE until early March 2012 when he was let go for making racial comments about several pro football players.
