Our talent has a real understanding of the importance of the Chicago Bears and what the team means to the fansbecause our team is made up of fans. We are counting down the days until kickoff!”

Scott Hagel, senior vice president, marketing and communications for the Chicago Bears said, “The hometown radio call continues to be an integral part of Bears football. It provides the unique soundtrack of each season. Bears fans expect informed commentary and a shared passion for their favorite team as pillars to their experience. Good Karma has assembled a talented cast to deliver on both while providing a fresh take on Bears football not only for ESPN 1000 listeners, but for fans across the entire national Chicago Bears Radio Network.”

Miller is entering her 12th season covering the Bears and reports weekly from Halas Hall. The pregame show, which will broadcast two hours before each game, will breakdown each week’s matchup and serve as a pep rally, welcoming fan calls and increasing excitement leading up to kickoff.
