Evan Harrington
Hi, my name is Evan Harrington; I am a Journalism Student at Buffalo State University. I am the current Co-Sports director at 91.3 FM WBNY. The big reason I joined the radio station is that I have a passion for talking about sports and wanted to pursue doing that live on the air here at the station.
About me: I am the director of team media for Buffalo State Hockey, a content contributor for the Buffalo Fanatics, a Color Commentator for Buffalo State Athletics, and Host of Mondays Murph, WNY Athletics Color Commentator.
Daniel Dale
Hey, it's Dan aka Double D. The Blitz has become one of the things that I put a lot of work into. I'm the loudest in the group so if you ever hear someone yelling if you tune in, that's me. I work for Audacy as a producer and do the UB Men's and Women's games and WBEN on Saturdays. This show has been able to let me put my foot in the door for my future and meet my best friends. Finally, in the famous words of Marv Levy "Where else would you rather be than right here, right now?"

I am a PR & Advertising major at Buffalo State University. I joined The Blitz as a way to put my name out into the sports media world, and I met some crazy fun dudes/co-hosts because of it. I've since took on the role of Promotions Director for the station since the Fall 2024 semester.
