All Sports, All the Time with Sports Talk and Play-by-Play in Pensacola

SportsRadio Pensacola, powered by ESPN

The Gulf Coast’s home for sports — local, regional, and national.

SportsRadio Pensacola, heard on 99.1 FM, AM 1330 and 98.7 FM-HD4, is locally owned by Dave and Mary Hoxeng, of ADX Communications of Escambia.

ADX is also the sister company to NewsRadio Pensacola 92.3, Pensacola’s Playlist 94.5, ADX Digital, and Cat Country 98.7.

SportsRadio Pensacola delivers the biggest sports stories every day, with a full lineup of ESPN programming along with the local show of The Glass Half Full with Jordan Glass that keeps Pensacola plugged into what matters most — from the pros to college athletics and the teams we care about right here on the Gulf Coast.

Programming includes a strong mix of ESPN national shows and local sports content, giving listeners the most complete sports radio experience in Northwest Florida — on-air, online, and on-demand.

Our Story

Dave and Mary launched CatCountry 98.7 in 2004, followed by WNRP/NewsRadio AM1620 in 2007. In 2016, NewsRadio 1620 began simulcasting on FM at 92.3 and on 95.3 soon thereafter. In 2018, they launched WEBY/ESPN Pensacola, which later became SportsRadio Pensacola on 99.1 FM and AM 1330.

Owners and staff are totally committed to serving our listeners in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties through local news, local programs and local community involvement.
