A new morning show is coming to Milwaukee sports radio beginning on Monday July 6. Steve Czaban is making his return to Milwaukee sports radio alongside Josh Albrecht. The show is part of a lineup shake up which also saw the conclusion of Inside Wisconsin Sports featuring Albrecht and Trevor Thomas.
What We Know: The Steve Czaban Show with Josh Albrecht debuts July 6 on 105.7 The Fan in Milwaukee. The program will also air across the Wisconsin Sports Network, broadening its reach beyond a single market. Listeners can tune in weekdays from 8-9 a.m. central time. This is Czaban’s first return to Milwaukee sports radio since being part of the 97.3 The Game format flip with iHeartMedia in October 2025. Also as part of the announcement, Albrecht will host Wisconsin Sports Wake Up Call weekdays from 6am-8am with a member of the Wisconsin Sports Network co-hosting from 7am-8am.
What They Said: Steve Czaban (via X): “Summer of Czabe is over! Gonna be great to get back at it, Milwaukee!”
Trevor Thomas on the end of Inside Wisconsin Sports on 105.7 The Fan (via X): “In March, our broadcast partner, Midwest Communications/WNFL, at our request, notified Audacy Milwaukee/WSSP that a change was being made and Inside Wisconsin Sports would no longer be offered to the Wisconsin Sports Radio Network in its current form come summer. By notifying Audacy Milwaukee in March, this granted management at WSSP more than 3 months to work on what was next for them in morning drive, all while Inside Wisconsin Sports continued broadcasting live from Green Bay every day leading up to the change, and will do so moving forward after the change.”
What Remains Unclear: Any details about added duties outside of the one-hour show for Czaban is unknown. Also, any terms of the agreement is also unknown.
What It Means: Steve Czaban has a ton of market brand value. From with his success in weekly hits at 102.9 The Hog and mornings at 97.3 The Game. A return to the Wisconsin Sports Network is a home run addition to the network with coverage surrounding the state. This launch reshapes Milwaukee’s morning sports radio lineup heading into July. Inside Wisconsin Sports, featuring Albrecht and Trevor Thomas, wrapped its final broadcast earlier today. Consequently, Albrecht shifts into a new on-air partnership while staying within the same network.
