Ex-Packer Popular In Milwaukee

• iHeartMedia Sports-Talk WRNW (97.3 The Game)/Milwaukee has acquired the talents of former Green Bay Packers’ fan favorite, John Kuhn, who will join the station as host of its new midday show — the cleverly named Nine 2 Noon with Kuhn launches May 4 and features Kuhn alongside former Wisconsin Badger Brian Butch, who will discuss the latest “sports and stuff” weekday mornings from — you guessed it — 9am-noon.

After playing college football for Shippensburg University, Kuhn was signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers as an undrafted free agent in 2005. Kuhn went on to earn a Super Bowl ring with the Steelers in Super Bowl XL. Five years later, as a member of the Packers, he earned his second ring — against his former team — in Super Bowl XLV. He was named to three Pro Bowls, all as a Packer.

“We are thrilled to have John Kuhn part of the team and I can’t wait to see what John and Brian serve up together,” said Colleen Valkoun, Market President for iHeartMedia Milwaukee. Kuhn remarked, “I’m excited and grateful for the opportunity to join the iHeartMedia team and to continue learning and growing in this industry. I look forward to bringing the same energy to the studio that I brought on the playing field during my days as a football player.”
