[**Andy Pollin**](https://barrettmedia.com/?s=andy+pollin&ref=capitolcommunicator.com) **is** [**out**](https://x.com/andypollin1/status/2087208646337757555?ref=capitolcommunicator.com) **at ESPN 630\. Cumulus Media’s nationwide layoffs claimed the longtime D.C. sports radio voice**, reports [Barrett Media](https://barrettmedia.com/2026/08/11/andy-pollin-departure-espn-630-washington/?ref=capitolcommunicator.com).

According to Barrett Media: **“**Pollin joined ESPN 630 in 2019, anchoring morning updates during *Golic & Wingo* before eventually hosting his own show from 9 to 11 a.m. weekdays. He spent seven years at the station, the finale of a nearly 30-year run across D.C. sports radio that also included stops at WTEM and 106.7 The Fan. His exit lands amid a broader wave of Cumulus cuts hitting sales, programming, and podcasting staff across multiple markets.”

Pollin’s exit “strips ESPN 630 of a nearly three-decade fixture in D.C. sports radio. He returned to D.C. in 1992 to play a key role in the launch of D.C.’s first all-sports station, WTEM, where he served as Sports Director for 25 years. His early jobs took him through Texas and New York City where he helped start the nation’s first all-sports radio station, WFAN. For ESPN 630, replacing that morning and midday presence tests whether local identity survives corporate cost-cutting. Meanwhile, listeners lose a familiar name as the industry’s contraction rolls on,” states Barrett Media.
