Audacy is rolling out a new weekly NFC North football show. Inside the North premieres Sunday, September 13, across four flagship markets.
What We Know: David Haugh, co-host of Haugh and Payton on 104.3 The Score, will host the program. He’s joined by ex-Bears coach Dave Wannstedt, former Packers kicker Mason Crosby, ex-Lions lineman T.J. Lang, and former Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway. The show airs Sunday mornings on 104.3 The Score (Chicago), 97.1 The Ticket (Detroit), 105.7 The Fan (Milwaukee), and 830 WCCO (Minneapolis). Video episodes drop early on YouTube every Friday night.
What They Said: Mitch Rosen, Sports Format Vice President, Audacy: “The NFC North features some of the most passionate fanbases and intense rivalries in all of football. By combining David Haugh’s signature hosting with the firsthand perspective of four iconic division figures, ‘Inside the North’ delivers unmatched context and insider access to these markets every single week.”
What Remains Unclear: Audacy did not detail if the new program will also be carried on affiliates statewide with 97.1 The Ticket and 105.7 The Fan.
What It Means: The launch signals Audacy’s push to deepen local sports-talk footprint across four major markets simultaneously. Consequently, pairing regional legends with David Haugh in Chicago strengthens credibility with die-hard fans. Additionally, the multiplatform rollout, spanning radio, streaming, and YouTube, reflects broader industry momentum toward cross-platform sports content. Ultimately, Inside the North tests whether division-specific programming can drive deeper engagement than national shows.
