The World of Sports According to Chris & Ben With Chris Ello & Ben Higgins Chris Ello, one of the most recognizable voices in America’s Finest City, has been talking sports on the radio in San Diego since 1994. A 1985 graduate of San Diego State, Chris was a teammate of Tony Gwynn’s on the Aztecs in 1980 and 1981. “The World of Sports According to Chris & Ben” is regarded in the business as one of the most intelligent and entertaining sports talk shows on the west coast. Chris has been behind the mic for Padres baseball, San Diego State basketball, Gulls hockey, and various other sports over the last two decades as well. But it is his sports talk wit and cynicism that has created a show that will hit sports from all angles, many of which listeners haven’t even thought about. XTRA Sports is pleased to announce that Ben Higgins has joined the XTRA SPORTS 1360 AM team. Prior to coming to XTRA Sports, Ben was part of the 10 News San Diego sports team. The graduate of Torrey Pines High School has been a die hard sports nut his whole life, growing up with the Padres, Chargers, Aztecs, Toreros, Gulls, Sockers, and even the Clippers, attending dozens of games every year. One of his favorite memories is attending Game 5 of the NLCS at Jack Murphy Stadium, and seeing the Padres beat the Cubs to advance to their first World Series. Ben decided to pursue his passion straight out of Pomona College, when he joined XTRA Sports 690 radio in 1997. Three years later, he was chosen to co-host San Diego Padres Pre- and Post-Game Shows on AM 600 KOGO. During Spring Training 2003, Ben showed off his play-by-play skills, working alongside the legendary Jerry Coleman. He first joined the 10News sports team in 2002, and was part of the station's special coverage leading up to Super Bowl XXXVII at Qualcomm Stadium. M-F 6a-9a Core Audience: Men 25-54
