Fox Sports Radio in a memo revealed a new lineup for early '14 that has left Pat O’Brien, Steve Hartman, Rob Dibble and Amy Van Dyken "without a place to call their show," according to sources cited by Tom Hoffarth of the L.A. DAILY NEWS. The new schedule, debuting on Jan. 6, "marks a notable change" in the 3:00-6:00pm ET slot, which O’Brien and Hartman "have held for the last several years." The memo said the “Fox Sports Primetime” slot "will be replaced by a new program to be announced shortly." For the 6:00-10:00pm national slot, Fox will move Las Vegas-based John “J.T. The Brick” Tournour with partner Tomm Looney "from late nights to the earlier slot." From 10:00pm-2:00am, Fox has replaced Dibble and Van Dyken with Jason Smith. Fox’ national lineup also will "move Ben Maller from weekends to weekdays" from 2:00-5:00am, followed by “Fox Sports Daybreak” with Andy Furman and Mike North from 6:00-9:00am. The new lineup keeps Dan Patrick (9:00am-12:00pm) and Jay Mohr (12:00-3:00pm) "in their usual spots" (DAILYNEWS.com, 12/18).
