The younger sister of the WNBA’s first family continues to make move after move after move.
In addition to excelling on the court throughout her WNBA career – whether it is with the Connecticut Sun or now with the Los Angeles Sparks (alongside her sister Nneka), she has excelled as a media personality. This has included being featured on ESPN’s NBA coverage.
We will be listening to a lot more Chiney in the future as ESPN has completely revamped its national radio lineup – including giving the younger Ogwumike the 4p-7p timeslot alongside Mike Golic, Jr.
I’ve got news: pressing pause on playing ball this season was tough, but sometimes taking a step back can lead to an unexpected step forward.
I am thrilled to co-host a new daily, national radio show for @ESPN. Ready to rep this generation and show that voices like mine matter. pic.twitter.com/cRqtLzUw5l

The new lineup starts on August 17 so it will not be long before sports radio listeners from coast to coast are graced with even more of Ogwumike’s sporting insights.
ESPN Radio’s new schedule also includes a new morning show featuring Keyshawn Johnson, Jay Williams and Zubin Mehenti as well as Dan Le Batard’s show losing an hour. Mike Greenberg and Max Kellerman will host back-to-back two hour shows leading into Ogwumike and Golic at 4 p.m. Sarah Spain and Jason Fitz will also host a two-hour show from 7p-9p.
Freddie Coleman and Ian Fitzsimmons continue from 9p-1a.
