Milwaukee Radio: WRNW Re-Signs Steve Czaban

iHeartMedia's WRNW 97.3 FM, the Milwaukee sports-talk station branded as "The Game," has announced a "multiyear" contract extension Thursday for morning show host Steve Czaban. 

Czaban joined "The Game" in May 2019, six months after the iHeartMedia Milwaukee station switched its format from contemporary-hits music to sports-talk. His show airs on weekdays from 6 to 9 a.m. 

Although he's based in the Washington, D.C., area, Czaban has been a regular presence in Milwaukee radio for nearly a quarter of a century. He had a segment on the "Bob and Brian" show on WHQG-FM 102.1 for more than 20 years before abruptly leaving that station in late 2018, and joining The Game six months later. 

The Milwaukee Sentinel reports news of Czaban's contract extension came less than a week after Ted Davis, former radio play-by-play announcer for the Milwaukee Bucks, disclosed that he no longer had a full-time gig on The Game. Davis, who lives in Texas, said he will continue to fill in occasionally at the station.

Last fall, "The Game" landed radio broadcast rights to the Green Bay Packers games, which had aired in Milwaukee on WTMJ 620 AM since 1929.
