Since John Thompson announced his pending retirement from ESPN 980 several months ago, there was one notable opening on the D.C. sports-talk radio schedule.

That opening will be filled this week, when 980 is expected to name Thompson’s replacement in the 2-4 weekday slot. The new show will be called “Inside the Locker Room with Doc Walker and Brian Mitchell,” and will feature, you guessed it, Doc Walker and Brian Mitchell. Longtime D.C. sports-talk host Scott Jackson will be the third member of the broadcast team.

One of San Diego’s two Afternoon Drive sports talk shows is changing stations. Josh Rosenberg and Charod Williams have left XTRA Sports 1360 and are heading to cross-town rival XX 1090.
