Dan McDowell and Jake Kemp, hosts of The Ticket’s The Hang Zone, resigned Monday from the local sports radio station. The resignations follow the retirement of longtime host Norm Hitzges last month.
McDowell and Kemp failed to agree to new contracts with the station after months of negotiations, according to a spokesperson for The Ticket. The spokesperson added that Donovan Lewis and Sean Bass would fill the noon to 3 p.m. slot previously held by The Hang Zone.

McDowell has been on the station’s airwaves since 1999, when he joined as co-host of BaD Radio with Bob Sturm. Kemp joined the station in 2006 and served as the producer of BaD Radio. When Sturm moved to late afternoons in 2020, Kemp began hosting a show with McDowell in the noon to 3 p.m. slot.
