In a significant shake-up for Bonneville Denver, has announced new lineup changes for its sports radio station, 104.3 The Fan (KKFN). Darren “DMac” McKee, former Broncos Orlando Franklin and Nate Jackson, and 15-year NFL veteran Chad Brown were let go as part of the revamp.
McKee, who co-hosted The Drive, expressed gratitude for the support he has received. Franklin, who had previously left the station for a coaching stint with the San Francisco 49ers, returned to The Fan in June 2022. Jackson thanked listeners and colleagues for their support during his time on The Players Club.
Former Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay is set to co-host The Drive with Zach Bye, who has been hosting middays on the station for seven years. Replacing Bye as Brandon Stokley’s partner will be Josh Dover, who previously worked with Kroenke Sports and Entertainment’s Altitude 92.5.
Bonneville Denver Senior Vice President and Market Manager Katie Reid said, “We are proud to usher in a new generation here on 104.3 The Fan. This new lineup will provide a stable and consistent listening experience for our audience. We’re extremely excited to welcome both Phil and Josh, as their high character, dynamic personalities and passion for their Denver community will resonate deeply with our audience.”
This reshuffling is the latest in a series of changes at the Denver sports radio station, which has seen several departures, including Derek Wolfe and Tyler Polumbus, both former co-hosts of The Drive.
