After losing Danny Parkins to Chicago’s 670 The Score in January, program director John Hanson was determined to find the right fit for 610 Sports alongside remaining afternoon show host Carrington Harrison. Luckily for Hanson, he didn’t have to look far at all.
The process led Hanson to Brad Fanning, who had appeared as a guest and contributor on the radio station during the past few years. After a handful of test shows, which reflected excellent chemistry between Fanning, Harrison, and producer Ben Heisler, 610 made the decision to offer the job on a permanent basis to the former Channel 5 (KCTV) sports anchor.
Fanning’s arrival was officially announced this afternoon. To hear the show and learn more visit 610’s website by clicking here.
