Sports Radio 560 WQAM-AM announced that Channing Crowder will be returning to the radio station as of Tuesday. He will be an afternoon co-host alongside Marc Hochman and Zach Krantz. The afternoon show with Hochman and Krantz has been on the air since April 2014.
Crowder, a former Miami Dolphins linebacker from 2005 to 2010, was let go by WQAM last month. He co-hosted an early afternoon show with WTVJ-TV sportscaster Adam Kuperstein in two different tenures.
He retired from professional football in August 2011 and joined WQAM as a fill-in host and Miami Dolphins expert. Crowder replaced Steve Goldstein as the early afternoon co-host in October 2012 and remained there with Kuperstein until September 2013. He did a short three-month stint as the afternoon co-host with Brandon Guzio for the rest of the year and then moved back to the early afternoon show in January 2014.

Finally! Good news for WQAM and South Florida sports radio news listeners. Crowder is intelligent, funny, and knows sports, whether it's football, basketball, or ... fishing (geography and grammar/syntax? Not so much). He's still "rough around the edges", but he's fine with self-deprecation. Most importantly - he's unorthodox, which makes the "Q" "listenable" for me again. Crowder does go off on tangents regularly, so his co-hosts will need to "reign him in" consistently (otherwise, chaos, albeit fun chaos, will ensue). Good move on WQAM, and congrats to Hochman, Krantz, and the "Q's" programing staff for "shaking up the booth" and adding another dimension to the 2-6 PM M-F time-slot!
