After one year away from radio, Orlando Franklin is back with 104.3 The Fan in Denver. He will join Cecil Lammey from 6 until 9 each weeknight on Orlando & Cecil.
Last July, Franklin left the station to take a job on the San Francisco 49ers coaching staff. His position with the team was never publicly defined, but he worked closely with running backs coach Bobby Turner.
“I’m beyond excited to return to my family at The Fan and get back to talking with Denver fans every day,” Franklin said in a press release. “While coaching in the NFL was a wonderful experience, my true passion is radio and I can’t wait to team up with Cecil talking about the Avalanche, Broncos and all the big stories in Denver sports!”
Orlando Franklin was part of 104.3 The Fan from 2018 until 2021. He is also well-known to Denver sports fans as a member of the Denver Broncos offensive line. He played four of his six NFL seasons in Denver and was a member of the franchise’s all-decade team for the 2010s.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Orlando home to The Fan where he brings a new insight after a year of coaching the NFL,” 104.3 The Fan Program Director Raj Sharan added. “In addition to Orlando’s terrific football credentials, he’s tremendously knowledgeable about hockey, which will strengthen our commitment to talking about the Avalanche along with all of our Denver sports teams.”
