Dan Dakich, who was last heard full-time on the radio in Indianapolis in December, 2022, will return on Monday. Cumulus Media announced today they are adding “The Dan Dakich Show” to the lineup of Sports Ticket 1430 AM (WXNT) from Noon-3 p.m.
Dakich is a former championship basketball player and coach and is also an award-winning radio host and ESPN’S leading Big 10 college basketball analyst.
Dakich starred at Andrean High School in Merrillville, IN, and at Indiana University. Following his playing days, he spent 12 seasons as a coach at IU and in 2008 was briefly the interim head coach for the Hoosiers after ten years as Bowling Green’s head coach.
Dakich hosted “The Dan Dakich Show” on 107.5 The Fan for 14 years and then he took his show to “OutKick Network,” where his show “Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich” airs Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m.
Darlene Park, Vice President/Market Manager, Cumulus Indianapolis, said: “Indiana’s very own Dan Dakich returns to the airwaves as opinionated as ever and ready to break down all things sports on Indy’s Sports Ticket 1430 AM every weekday from Noon to 3pm. He is an Indiana sports legend, and we are so excited he is bringing his game to our team. In addition to 1430 AM, sports fans can catch Dan on 99.5 HD2 or the Indy’s Sports Ticket 1430 AM app.
Dan Dakich commented: “Couldn’t be more thrilled to join the fantastic team at Indy’s Sports Ticket 1430 AM. The state of Indiana and I have had a lifetime love affair that extends way beyond sports and sharing that daily is going to, once again, be a blast! Can’t wait to get started as we build Indy’s Sports Ticket 1430 AM into Indy’s go-to home for all things sports.”
Dan Dakich was a great kid and great player and is a wonderful radio host. Has the Knight mentality of say what you mean
He makes me laugh and glad he is back.
