Former local sportscaster Chris Russell has been added to The Team 980 WTEM-AM in Washington D.C. as an afternoon co-host with Pete Medhurst. Russell went by the name Chris Russo when he worked for CBS Sportsline.com in Fort Lauderdale as an executive producer and sports host. He had to change his name when he reached national status to not be confused with talk show host Chris Russo of WFAN-AM and later Sirius XM Radio.
Russell left South Florida and returned to Buffalo as a sports host, sports anchor and producer at WGR-AM. It led to him to become a sports host at several national sports radio networks which included Sportsfan Radio Network, One-On-One Sports and Sporting News Radio.
He moved on to Washington D.C. and settled working at two different radio stations. Russo was a sports reporter and fill-in host at WJFK-FM. He then joined WTEM-AM as the Washington Redskins Radio Network studio host and team reporter. Russo has continued to cover the Washington Football Team over the last several years with Monument Network, Locked On Washington Football Team Podcast and Sports Illustrated.com.
