“Big Al” has left the building.
Alfred Williams, who played on the defensive line for the Denver Broncos before becoming one of the most popular sports radio personalities in Denver for 104.3 The Fan has left the station effective today. Williams had been a fixture in afternoons, co-hosting “The Drive” with Darren “D-Mac” McKee.
Details about Williams’ future, and 104.3 The Fan’s afternoon drive plans are unclear. ‘The Drive’ was voted one of the Top 20 Major Market afternoon shows by radio executives each of the past 3 years.
Since the news became public, a few personalities from The Fan have taken to Twitter expressing their admiration for their former colleague. Local listeners have done the same.
As details become available we’ll update this story.
