Jorge (pronounced "George") Sedano is an American sports broadcaster and talk show host. He began his career in 1999 and is currently a radio and television personality at ESPN.
Jorge was born in New York and raised in Miami, Florida. He attended Monsignor Edward Pace High School and Florida International University. He interned at CBS Sportsline and Westwood One Radio, where he worked under Scott Kaplan and Sid Rosenberg.
Jorge Sedano, began his career in 1999 as a host/update anchor/producer at WAFN-AM 1700 The Fan in Miami. He hosted a midday sports show with John DeCandido as well as hosting a weekend wrestling show at the height of the Monday Night Wrestling wars. At The Fan, Jorge was the lead in show for former nationally syndicated sports talk host John Renshaw.
In 2001, Sedano ended up as a host/update anchor at cross town Clear Channel Miami sports talker WRFX-AM 940 Fox Sports (now WINZ-AM). This is where Jorge got his first chance at hosting a drive time show. He was quickly handed the reins of the station's afternoon drive show, Sports Talk South Florida (weekdays from 5pm-7pm).
In February 2004, Jorge was given an opportunity to host a late night national weekend show on Fox Sports Radio Network. Five months later, after the departure of their overnight weekday host Jim Daniels, FSR auditioned Sedano as a possible replacement.
In August 2004, Sedano was named the host of the weekday overnight show, The Third Shift on Fox with Jorge Sedano. Despite Fox Sports Radio's programming originating out of Los Angeles, Sedano's show mostly originated out of a studio in Miami (due to his duties with the Miami Heat Radio Network). At that time he was known as, "The Dean," of late night sports talk. During his tenure, his show was the most cleared show, in late night syndicated sports radio. Jorge hosted The Third Shift on Fox until September 2007. He left the position to take a weekday job in his hometown of Miami, at WAXY 790 The Ticket.
