Zaret

Longtime DETROIT sportscaster ELI ZARET will host a new daily sports feature on GUY GORDON's 3-5p (ET) show on CUMULUS News-Talk WJR-A/DETROIT.  "AFTER FURTHER REVIEW will air weekdays at 4:36p (ET).

ZARET, who has been in the market since 1974 at the old WABX, is known for covering the DETROIT PISTONS for many years, sports anchoring at NBC affiliate WDIV-TV and then-CBS affiliate WJBK-TV/DETROIT, and radio work at WCSX and WRIF.  He also briefly served as sports anchor at ABC O&O WABC-TV/NEW YORK.

GORDON said, "ELI is one of the most iconic and distinctive voices, both literally and figuratively, and I can’t wait to share his take every afternoon."

ZARET added, "I'm excited about the opportunity to play a role at one of America's legendary radio stations that features a cast of Hall of Fame broadcasters. Before starting in television at WDIV in 1980, I loved writing radio sports commentaries. Now, over 40 years later, to be able to do them at WJR alongside my long-time friend and colleague, GUY GORDON, is a very cool thing. I feel like I'm going back to my roots in radio."
