Now that McClatchey Broadcasting is dropping ESPN Radio programming, in large part so it can pick up Don Imus' weekday morning show, ESPN is looking for a new local radio affiliate.
Dan Quinn, a spokesman for ESPN, says the network is "in negotiations with one party" in the Raleigh-Durham area, though he wouldn't identify the party.
"We certainly expect to be on sooner rather than later down there," Quinn says.
One logical landing spot on the dial would be 99.9 FM The Fan, but we haven't heard whether that's the one.
