WQAM, Miami host Jim Mandich is battling cancer, and leaving "Sportsradio 560"
The former Miami Dolphins football star who became a popular sports talk show host is going to take time off. Mandich, the afternoon drive host on WQAM-AM is battling cancer of the bile duct, and is now undergoing chemotherapy. He says he will not return to WQAM. Mandich, a former All-American college football star, played with the Dolphins for eight seasons. While with WQAM, he was also a color commentator for Dolphins radio broadcasts. However, his position calling games was placed in doubt when WQAM lost the Dolphins broadcast rights to Clear Channel’s WINZ-AM (940) & WBGG-FM (105.9). Mandich tells the Miami Herald “my talk-show days are done. It was a lot of fun.” WQAM has yet to announce a permanent replacement for Mandich.
