After leaving 105.3 The Fan, Ben Rogers and Jeff 'Skin' Wade announce move to 97.1 The Eagle - The Dallas Morning News

One of the most popular tandems in Dallas-Fort Worth radio will be returning to air soon.

Former hosts on 105.3 The Fan [KRLD-FM], Ben Rogers and Jeff ‘Skin’ Wade announced in a YouTube video on Wednesday that they are headed to 97.1 The Eagle [KEGL-FM].

The show will kick off on Monday, Feb. 10, airing weekdays from 2:00-5:00 p.m.

“Creative control is what this was about, and 100% worth the wait,” Rogers tweeted Wednesday morning prior to the announcement.

The “Ben & Skin” duo left The Fan back in October citing a “spectacular opportunity that another media outlet made available" to them, and had maintained their silence on what the move would be until the official announcement.

“We’d like to thank The Fan for the opportunity and the unbelievable memories," Rogers wrote in a statement after their announced departure.

"We’ve made some great friends and forged some lifelong relationships with talented, incredibly cool people who will continue to thrive on airways. We’re very proud of what we built together.”

Before the childhood friends who grew up in Richardson hosted their weekday show on The Fan, they also had stints with the two other major local sports radio networks in ESPN Dallas 103.3 [KESN-FM] and 96.7 FM/1310 The Ticket [KTCK-AM].

On the side, Wade also works the sidelines at Dallas Mavericks games and owns a music production company.

Over the past few months, Rogers and Wade have focused on their duties as co-owners and the self-proclaimed “ambassadors of fun” for Rollertown Beerworks in Celina, which is expected to open this year.
