Denver Radio: KKFN Launches New Morning Show

Bonneville Denver announced today a new lineup on Denver’s Sports KKFN 104.3 The Fan that includes the introduction of a new show: “Chad and Nate.” The new lineup will go into effect on Monday, Sept. 20. “Chad and Nate,” hosted by Chad Brown and Nate Jackson, will air weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

“We’ve received incredible feedback from listeners on both Chad and Nate, hoping to hear them more regularly on the station,” said Denver’s Sports Station 104.3 The Fan Program Director Raj Sharan. “Chad and Nate’s contrasting personalities and insightful perspectives will create a unique and entertaining program every day.”

Following “Chad and Nate,” the station’s lineup is tweaking, with “Stokley and Zach;” “The Drive with Tyler Polumbus and DMac;” and “Nick and Cecil” all beginning one hour earlier from their previous time slots. Sandy Clough will join Shawn Drotar in the evenings on a new program, “Sandy and Shawn,” that will keep the station live and local on weekdays until midnight.

“I’m excited we can bring Chad and Nate together; we’ve been looking for a way to get them both involved in our lineup on a daily basis,” said Bonneville Denver SVP/Market Manager Bob Call. “In addition, teaming Sandy with Shawn in the evening will give Denver sports fans an objective, unbiased and unaffiliated postgame show following Nuggets, Avalanche and Rockies games.”
