Stein Freaks Out Over New Radio Gig

• iHeartMedia Hot Talk/Sports KEGL (97.1 The Freak)/Dallas announced the addition of award-winning sports reporter Marc Stein as host of Saturday Sportsworld with Marc Stein, launching this Saturday, July 1.

With a unique and versatile perspective that fans have come to expect and enjoy from his 30 years covering the NBA, including stints at ESPN and The New York Times, Stein will bring his inimitable sports insight to Freak listeners every Saturday from noon-1pm CT.

“I am SO excited to be back in a radio studio that I can hardly find the words,” Stein said. “Absolutely cannot wait to talk Mavericks and all things NBA and venture into some other areas of world sport that I love to discuss — all with my friends on 97.1 The Freak. And it’s doubly meaningful that it’s Panini, whose soccer stickers have been part of my life since I was a kid, that has partnered with us to make this show possible.”

“We are thrilled to feature Marc Stein every Saturday on 97.1 The Freak, The Official Radio Home to all Dallas Mavericks Games!” exclaimed a visibly thrilled Freak PD Dominic “Zakk” Zaccagnini. “Marc’s basketball knowledge and insight is must-hear for NBA fans all around the globe. And listeners of The Freak and Saturday Sportsworld with Marc Stein will get to hear his passion for other sports as well!”
