Jorge Sedano Leaves WQAM

    Jorge Sedano will announce his final broadcast Thursday on Sports Radio 560 WQAM-AM. He will finish his one-year tenure as the afternoon host and program director at the station. Sedano was named to both positions by WQAM in late August 2012 and replaced Dan Sileo on the afternoon shift in early September 2012.
    He will begin at ESPN Radio on September 9 as an evening co-host with former football player Mark Schlereth. It is expected that his program will be picked up by ESPN 106.3 WUUB-FM and ESPN 760 Radio WEFL-AM in West Palm Beach from 8 p.m. until 10 p.m. when they have no game broadcast. His new program will most likely be picked up by his former station 790 The Ticket WAXY-AM along with 104.3 The Ticket WAXY-FM in Miami when they do not have a Miami Heat or Miami Marlins game broadcast.
    Sedano, a Florida International University grad, joined 790 The Ticket in August 2007 as a midday host. He would later replace Sid Rosenberg as the morning host at that station from April 2009 until early April 2012. Sedano was also a radio game analyst for FIU football games with Jeremy Marks-Peltz in 2009 and 2010.
    He worked with News Radio 610 WIOD-AM from July 2004 until early August 2007. Along with being the morning sports anchor at that station, he was the studio host of the Miami Heat Radio Network from 2004 until 2007 and part of the broadcast team when the Heat won their first NBA title in 2006. Sedano also was the overnight host of Fox Sports Radio from 2004 until 2007 where he broadcast his program from the Miramar studios of Clear Channel. He shifted to a Sunday evening show in the summer of 2007.
    Prior to that, he was a sports host at Fox Sports Radio 940 WRFX-AM from 2002 until the station flipped to a news/talk format in July 2004. Sedano began his broadcasting career as a producer of the Jim Berry Show on 1700 The Fan WAFN-AM in August 1999. He was later elevated to sports anchor and sports host before the station changed its format in late December 2000.
    Sedano had previous television experience as a weekend sports anchor at WFOR-TV Channel 4 in Miami for several years with Berry until the fall of 2012. He joined Sun Sports in August 2012 as the Miami Heat studio host for road broadcast games alongside John Crotty. He left that post this past July after the team won their second straight NBA championship and their third in franchise history.
