Ravens Insider: Baltimore sports radio host Jason La Canfora no longer with 105.7 The Fan

[ExtremeRavens]

Baltimore sports radio personality Jason La Canfora confirmed to The Baltimore Sun he is no longer with 105.7 The Fan.

La Canfora had co-hosted the show “Inside Access” since 2020 after stints covering the NFL for the Washington Post, NFL Network and CBS Sports. The Banner first reported his ousting.

La Canfora was one year into a three-year deal with The Fan. He told The Sun that the station’s programming director held a meeting on Friday “to talk about being number one in all the weekly ratings and to tell us we had the best YouTube numbers at the station.”

The situation apparently changed days later, with La Canfora saying, “there were no specifics given” for the change.

“They would not say anything other than they were moving in a different direction,” he added, after appearing on Wednesday’s show, which runs from 2 to 6 p.m.

Audacy Baltimore senior vice president/market manager Tracy Brandys sent a memo to staff, one employee of The Fan confirmed, writing, “We will begin the process of identifying his replacement and will post the position in the near future. We wish Jason the best in his future endeavors.”

Inside Access co-host Ken Weinman delivered an official announcement at the start of Thursday’s show that La Canfora, a Baltimore native, is no longer with the station.

“You don’t hear Jason La Canfora,” Weinman said. “He is no longer with Audacy, but ‘Inside Access’ will continue. We wish Jason the very best, but hopefully you will continue to listen.”

La Canfora has been a polarizing figure, inciting controversy among Orioles and Ravens fans by way of criticism aimed toward Orioles general manager Mike Elias as well as Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta and owner Steve Bisciotti.
