The show has been simulcast on the YES Network since February 2014.

"I'm thrilled and thankful for this opportunity to be a part of the 98.7 family and to be part of a show that I have always loved with two guys that I couldn't respect and admire more," said Rosenberg.  "By working for both 98.7 and HOT 97, I'm able to contribute to a wide variety of topics I'm passionate about, and provide listeners with a fresh perspective on not just hip hop, but sports, lifestyle, and more.  It's an honor to join 98.7; be sure to tune in on 9/15 for my first 'official' day!"

Rosenberg, who will remain the host of his weekday HOT 97 morning show and Sunday late night show, Real Late, will bring his unique take on New York life and pop culture to the show.  On occasion, he will also host ESPN Radio national shows.  Rosenberg also co-hosts a hip hop podcast, called Juan Epstein, and a professional wrestling podcast through ESPN affiliate Grantland, called Cheap Heat.
