Chase McCabe has been promoted to the Program Director/Brand Manager of 102.5 The Game after 10 years working at the radio station. McCabe’s promotion comes after current program director, Ryan Porth, announced his departure to move to 670 The Score in Chicago.

“We are fortunate to be in a position to promote from within our ranks,” says Cromwell Media VP/Market Manager Dennis Gwiazdon. “I’m confident that Chase will use this opportunity to sustain ESPN 102.5 The Game’s momentum and his promotion allows us to maintain continuity as we build on our reputation as Nashville’s Best Sports Talk.”

“We are excited for Ryan’s opportunity to be in the No. 3 radio market in the country. Throughout his tenure with ESPN 102.5 The Game Ryan has been instrumental in our success over the years,” adds Gwiazdon. “All of us at Cromwell Media are happy for Ryan and wish him continued success. I have no doubt that Chase will be his worthy successor.”

McCabe has been with the radio station since he interned with them in 2011 while attending Middle Tennessee State University. He has since served as the Assistant Program Director for the last four years and has been the co-host of The Game’s midday show, Darren, Daunic & Chas,e since July of 2019.

“I am absolutely thrilled to lead ESPN 102.5 The Game and ESPN 94.9, and grateful for the opportunity that owner Bud Walters and Dennis have given me. I can’t wait to see what new heights we can reach,” says McCabe. “I have also been blessed to work with Ryan Porth for the last 9 years and have not only learned a lot from a colleague, I’ve gained a friend for life and wish him nothing but the best.”

Along with his duties as assistant PD and co-hosting the midday show, McCabe has been one of the leading voices in Nashville’s NSACAR community hosting the Chasing Checkers podcast. On the show, he has interviewed stock car and IndyCar drivers, as well as lead up to Nashville’s hosting of the Ally 400 in June and the inaugural Big Machine Music City Grand Prix.

McCabe’s promotion will be effective starting Jan. 3.
