The Kansas City Chiefs and Entercom have finalized their radio broadcast team for the 2020 NFL season.
Mitch Holthus, known as the “Voice of the Chiefs”, returns for his 27th season calling games as a play-by-play commentator. Holthus will, however, have some newcomers by his side for the 2020 NFL season.
First up is former Chiefs WR Danan Hughes, who will fill the role of color commentator. The former seventh-round draft pick in the 1993 NFL Draft played his entire career six-year career in Kansas City. If you’re not familiar with Hughes during his career with the Chiefs, you’ve likely seen him as a pregame and postgame commentator, a role he’s filled since 2014.
The radio team will also be getting a new sideline reporter, Josh Klingler, who is a morning radio show host on 610 Sports Radio. He’s been involved in the local sports talk radio scene for a total of 16 years, best known for covering collegiate athletics at the University of Kansas.
“We are very excited to begin defending our Super Bowl championship in a few short weeks and are thrilled to have Mitch, Danan and Josh bringing the game action to Chiefs fans throughout the Kingdom, while Art anchors the pre- and postgame coverage on 106.5 The Wolf,” Chiefs Executive Vice President of Business Operations Tyler Epp said in a press release. “The Chiefs Radio Network is adding talented individuals to the booth, and we know they will provide the excitement and insight that Chiefs fans have come to expect when tuning in.”
“Like all of Chiefs Kingdom, we’re eagerly awaiting the return of the defending Super Bowl champions and look forward to another great season,” Regional President and Market Manager of Entercom Kansas City, Dave Alpert, said in a press release. “As the new flagship station of the team, we look forward to providing fans unrivaled coverage of everything Chiefs, including a marquee radio team delivering rich gameday analysis and exciting calls of the action.”
You can tune in and listen to the new radio broadcast team at 106.5 The Wolf (WDAF-FM) in Kansas City as well as a number of different radio affiliates. You can also listen to the radio broadcast on the Chiefs’ mobile app.
