iHeartMedia Sports “97.3 The Game” WRNW Milwaukee will debut “Nine 2 Noon with Kuhn” hosted by former Green Bay Packers fullback John Kuhn and Brian Butch on Monday, May 4.
Butch, who also hosts mornings on “1570 The Score” WSCO Appleton WI, had been part of a rotating group of fill-ins in the late morning timeslot along with Program Director Tim Scott and former WSSP host Chuck Friemund since “The Crossover” was moved to 12-3pm earlier this year with co-host Ted Davis joining Dario Melendez in that slot.
Kuhn played for the Packers from 2007-2015. He started his NFL career with two seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers and finished with the New Orleans Saints before suffering career ending injuries in 2017.
WRNW FM, 97.3 The Game, announced today that former Green Bay fan favorite, John Kuhn, will join the station as a new midday on-air personality. Kuhn will broadcast alongside former Wisconsin Badger Brian Butch on the new “Nine 2 Noon with Kuhn” to discuss the latest “sports and stuff” each weekday morning from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., effective Monday, May 4th.
After playing college football for Shippensburg University, Kuhn was signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers as an undrafted free agent in 2005. Kuhn earned a Super Bowl ring as a member of the Steelers in Super Bowl XL. He earned a second ring with the Green Bay Packers, against his former team, five years later in Super Bowl XLV. He was named to three Pro Bowls, all as a Packer.
“We are thrilled to have John Kuhn part of the team and I can’t wait to see what John and Brian serve up together,” said Colleen Valkoun, Market President for iHeartMedia Milwaukee.
“I am excited and grateful for the opportunity to join the iHeartMedia team and to continue learning and growing in this industry,” said Kuhn. “I look forward to bringing the same energy to the studio that I brought on the playing field during my days as a football player.”
