WGN’s Brand Scores Blackhawks’ Upgrade
“Joe Brand is one of the exciting sports broadcasters in Chicago,” said WGN Radio Sports Director Dave Eanet. “He’s been a key part of our Blackhawks’ broadcasts on WGN for several years, but mainly behind the scenes. Now, we’re thrilled that he can share his expertise, energy, and enthusiasm with Blackhawks fans on the air on a daily basis.”
Brand said, “As a kid, I used to get teased for carrying a transistor radio just to listen to Blackhawks games. Now I have the honor of joining one of the best radio teams in the NHL with John Wiedeman and Troy Murray. To be part of Blackhawks hockey on the radio is truly a dream come true,” he said. “My goal is to keep Blackhawks’ fans engaged and informed, but, most importantly, entertained.” Hear Chicago Blackhawks hockey on WGN Radio when preseason begins on Wednesday, September 29 at 7:30pm.
