Evan Cohen goes national

A bit of congratulations are in order for ESPN760's Evan Cohen as he is moving and shaking this sports radio season.

Cohen, the afternoon drive (4-6 p.m.) host of ESPN760, has taken a position as the morning host (6-10 a.m.) at Sirius/XM's Mad Dog Radio.

Sirius/XM is based out of New York City, however, in taking on this new opportunity, Cohen will remain as the 4-6 p.m. host at 760 as well.

Thank God for technology. And for frequent flyer miles.

Whether it be from New York or West Palm Beach, he'll be doing two shows a day, five days a week.

Yikes. That's a lot of work.

For Cohen, it's worth it, seeing as he grew up listening to WFAN, idolizing Chris "Mad Dog" Russo, whom he now works for/with. Not to mention he grew up a Mets fan and his co-host is former Mets General Manager Steve Phillips.

That's just the surface of what is actually a really interesting story about how a childhood dream fell into place.

So those of you who are loyal listeners to Evan's show at 760, you now have the pleasure of paying $12.95 a month to hear him for 20 more hours per week.

I made the investment. Four days in, gotta say it's worth it.

Congrats Evan!
