Ryan Maguire, who took over the reins at sports talker 610 KCSP in 2009, will be leaving the?Entercom?station to become PD at CSB Radio?s KDKA-FM in Pittsburgh, according to All Access.com.
His first day will be November 26th at the station, which began in November 2, 1920 and is known as the world?s first commercially licensed radio station.
Maguire, 34, ?did not lack confidence when he joined KCSP in January 2009 after a 2 ?-year tenure as the program director at WSSP in Milwaukee.
?We are going to beat WHB. That?s not a prediction. That?s not a mission statement, but a fact and everyone needs to believe that,? Maguire, an admitted workaholic, said at the time to his staff.
While KCSP made a ratings run at perennial sports talk leader WHB for awhile, the station never was able to achieve that goal.
Maguire brought in young, aggressive talent such as Nick Wright, but it could not really dent WHB. In fact, Wright left for Houston and promptly bad-mouthed his former boss routinely in Tweets.
?I?m happy that 610 Sports Radio is a better place now than it was when I arrived here in January of 2009,? Maguire told Bottom Line.? The reason for that is because I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to work with some very talented people, both on the air and off.
?It was because of their efforts that this brand has improved over these last 4 years.? I?m grateful to our General Manager Dave Alpert, our cooperate team at Entercom and to all of the people I?ve had the opportunity to work with here in Kansas City.? I wish them all the very best and continued success.?
Maguire said he is glad to to be heading to Pittsburgh.
?Pittsburgh is closer to family and close friends of mine, and that was the biggest factor in my decision to take this new opportunity,? he says.? ?CBS Radio has built a very talented and successful radio station in 93.7, ?The Fan? and I?m excited at the challenge of helping them get to the next level.?

?I?m thrilled to have the opportunity and privilege to be a part of SPORTSRADIO 93-7 THE FAN in PITTSBURGH,? said MAGUIRE.? ?Western PENNSYLVANIA is home to some of the most loyal and passionate fans in the country, and I?m looking forward to seeing KDKA continue to be a big part of their sports experience.?
