Andy Slater Gone From WINZ

     Andy Slater is no longer working at Miami Sports 940 WINZ-AM. He hosted a two-hour, mid-afternoon show on the station from January 2014 until last week.
     Slater, a Franklin Pierce University grad, was a Florida Marlins visiting clubhouse attendant and worked in the Oakland Raiders organization prior to his professional broadcasting career. He began at 640 Sports WMEN-AM as a weekend co-host when the station flipped to a sports talk format in April 2008.
     He was elevated to the afternoon co-host position alongside Larry Milian in late 2009. Slater moved to the evening shift in January 2010 when Ed Kaplan was hired. He was promoted to the midday position in April 2011 when the New York Yankees Radio Network aired.
     Hank Goldberg had a Saturday midday show during the football season from 2011 to 2013 and it was co-hosted by him. Slater had his midday program shortened to two hours in 2013 and was shifted to the early afternoon slot when Dan Sileo arrived for middays in August 2013. He regained the midday shift and an extra hour in November 2013 when Sileo was fired. Slater left 640 Sports in December 2013.
     Slater joined WINZ as a mid-afternoon host in January 2014. He had several different weekly guest co-hosts during his four-year stint with the station. They included Troy Stradford, Uncle Luke Luther Campbell, Tommy Hutton, Sergeant Joe Wysocki, Marlins Man Lawrence Leavy and Sid Rosenberg.
