Capitol Broadcasting Company on Friday announced the addition of personality Tim Donnelly to its daily radio lineup on 99.9 The Fan. Starting in mid-July, Donnelly will host the local weekday 3p-6p show on sports radio station WCMC in Raleigh, North Carolina.

“Tim has a very successful track record in radio. His experience as a college athlete gives him a truly unique perspective,” said Brian Grube, general manager of Capitol Broadcasting Radio. “This is a robust market for sports. College rivalries dominate the landscape while local pro teams like the Carolina Hurricanes, NC Courage and Durham Bulls unite fans under one umbrella. Tim’s coverage will give listeners a broad understanding of the sports that intersect here, and his expert analysis will pinpoint what’s at stake for fans, teams, and the Triangle.”

Donnelly is a rising star in the sports media industry, having recently led highly-rated daily morning and afternoon radio programs in Norfolk-Virginia Beach and Blacksburg, Virginia. He also fills in as a weekend host on the national CBS Sports Radio network.

Prior to his media career, Donnelly was a decorated athlete, playing quarterback at the University of Delaware. He began at Delaware in 2009 as a preferred walk-on and earned the starting role by his junior year with the Blue Hens.

“I am tremendously excited to join the Capitol Broadcasting Company family and the Triangle sports community,” says Donnelly. “My family and I have connections to North Carolina and the local sports scene. I am thrilled for the opportunity to do what I love in a community that is such fertile ground for sports fans.”

Afternoon drive on 99.9 The Fan will also feature the talents of local favorite Dennis Cox, who will produce the show and take on a larger on-air role alongside Tim. “The market knowledge Dennis brings to The Fan is invaluable,” said Grube. “His love for sports and enthusiasm for Triangle teams shines through every day. His leadership will be critical in shaping the new show, which will move fast, hit hard and deliver unmatched local sports coverage to our passionate fan base.”

Donnelly’s role at Capitol Broadcasting Company will expand beyond afternoon drive on 99.9 The Fan. He will also contribute web content and analysis on WRALSportsFan.com and original long-form audio content for the Capitol Broadcasting Podcast Network
