Jesse Agler Adds San Diego Radio Show

     Former local sportscaster Jesse Agler was recently named as the new evening host at KWFN-FM in San Diego. He hosts the one-hour Padres Social Hour there and on Radio.com. Agler did host that same program on the internet in 2014 and 2015.
     Agler, a Spanish River High School and University of Miami grad, began broadcasting locally at 560 WQAM-AM as a sports anchor and later was elevated to morning sports anchor. He was named the Florida Panthers Radio Network studio host prior to the start of the 2005-06 National Hockey League season. Agler also added duties as the studio host of the Florida Marlins Radio Network.
     He lost both positions when the radio rights were acquired by Sports Talk 790 The Ticket WAXY-AM. Agler jumped over to The Ticket and worked as a weekend sports anchor for several months. He returned back to WQAM as a sports anchor and became the studio host of the Miami Hurricanes Radio Network for a couple of years.
     Agler landed at Clear Channel Miami in early 2010 as the morning sports anchor at News Radio 610 WIOD-AM and later handled sports anchoring duties at 940 WINZ-AM. He was named The Finsiders Show afternoon program host on WINZ. Agler was promoted to pregame and halftime studio host of the Miami Dolphins Radio Network in July 2010.
     He replaced Dick Stockton as the television play-by-play announcer of Miami Dolphins preseason games in 2013. The first hour of The Finsiders Show was simulcasted by Fox Sports Florida starting in September 2013.
     Agler left South Florida in January 2014 and joined the San Diego Padres. He began as the internet studio host, San Diego Padres Radio Network studio host and backup play-by-play announcer. Agler started to work primarily as a radio play-by-play announcer in 2016 and occasionally fills in as the Padres television play-by-play announcer on Fox Sports San Diego.
