WZOH 95.5 The Game announced Monday that Scott “The Torg” Torgerson will host a new sports talk show in Columbus next week. Torgerson previously co-hosted a popular afternoon talk show on WBNS 97.1 The Fan, but was let go in 2012 after a controversial tweet about ESPN’s Desmond Howard. WZOH says “Torg” will continue his role as the morning show co-host on sister station WLVQ, which plays classic rock, but his return to sports talk in the Columbus market has many fans excited.

Torgerson’s announcement came on the first day of a new local late-afternoon show on The Game, which made the transition to sports from country in  April 2013. WZOH currently serves as the flagship home for the Columbus Crew, Central Ohio’s affiliate for Browns football & Cavaliers basketball, and is also an affiliate for CBS Sports Radio. Torgerson’s new show will not be competing with his former co-host Mike “The Common Man” Ricordati, but it will be interesting to see how the new shows fare against WBNS (which airs ESPN Radio programming, local talk shows, and Ohio State football & basketball on both an FM and AM station) and WYTS (a Fox Sports Radio affiliate).

The new show premieres Tuesday, November 11 at noon.
