Denver’s Fan Drives Home With Wolfe

• Bonneville Sports-Talk KKFN (104.3 The Fan)/Denver welcomes former Denver Broncos’ defensive lineman Derek Wolfe as its new afternoon drive co-host, joining Darren “DMac” McKee on the rebranded The Drive with Derek Wolfe and DMac.

Wolfe announced his retirement from the NFL on July 29, signing a one-day contract to retire as a Bronco. Wolfe was the Broncos’ top draft pick in 2012 and spent eight seasons with the team, also playing a key role on the Broncos’ Super Bowl 50 championship defense.

Katie Reid, SVP/Market Manager of Bonneville Denver, said, “Audiences have always related to engaging personalities, and Derek is an incredibly engaging and genuine personality, who joins us with an already established credibility with our audience. Listening to Derek and DMac go at it every afternoon is going to be entertaining and a whole lot of fun.” Fan PD Raj Sharan said, “What’s so exciting about adding Derek is his connection with the audience goes far beyond his production on the field. He’s never been afraid to mince words and is unapologetically authentic. Those characteristics drew Denver sports fans to fall in love with Derek, and we’re thrilled to help Derek build on that relationship everyday as he entertains his ‘Fan Wolfe-pack!'”

Wolfe exclaimed, “To the listeners in Denver, ‘The Fan Wolfe-pack’ — I am so insanely pumped to talk with you every afternoon on The Fan. We had a special connection when I was playing for the Broncos that’s only going to grow stronger every day on The Drive. DMac and I are going to fight sometimes, maybe we’ll fight a lot of the time, but we’ll always be working together to entertain you. I’ve always kept it 100 with you, and that’s not going to change one bit.” [Photo credit: Bonneville Denver]
