Audacy Launches New Afternoon Show With Femi Ayanbadejo On 105.7 The Fan In Baltimore

BALTIMORE, MD – July 24, 2026 – 105.7 The Fan (WJZ-FM), an Audacy station in Baltimore, launches “The Final Drive,” a new afternoon show with Femi Ayanbadejo. Ayanbadejo will co-host the show with Ken Weinman and Tim Barbalace weekdays from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. ET starting July 29. 

“Femi’s sports knowledge spans far beyond football, encompassing the entire Charm City sports scene. His fearless opinions and local sports knowledge will complement Ken’s fiery takes and Tim’s sharp insights,” said Joe LaCroix, Brand Manager, 105.7 The Fan. “We can’t wait for our listeners to experience the next chapter of afternoons with ‘The Final Drive’.”

“I’ve known Tim and Ken for a long time, and I’ve always admired their talents. Now, I’m excited to join them and create something fresh—an informative, entertaining show that Baltimore sports fans genuinely enjoy and that can be one of the top shows in the market,” said Ayanbadejo. “That level of success is familiar territory for Tim and Ken, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to help build what comes next.”

Ayanbadejo is an 11-year NFL veteran and a member of the Baltimore Ravens’ Super Bowl XXXV championship team. His radio experience began in 2012 with contributions to several programs, including “The Scott Garceau Show,” Ravens game-day radio with the legendary Gerry Sandusky, and, most recently, “The Bruce and Femi Show” on 105.7 The Fan.
