They're not booing over at sports talk FM station 97.3 The Game; they're cheering, "Kuuuuuuuuuhn!"
Announced this morning, former Packers fullback favorite and two-time Super Bowl champ John Kuhn will join the station to host a new midday sports talk show, "Nine 2 Noon with Kuhn," with former Wisconsin Badgers basketball star Brian Butch. As the name implies, the new show will hit airwaves from 9 a.m. until noon, Mondays through Fridays, to discuss the latest from the worlds of "sports and stuff."

"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, in a release.
"I am excited and grateful for the opportunity to join the iHeartMedia team and to continue learning and growing in this industry," said Kuhn, in the release. "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."
"Nine 2 Noon with Kuhn" will make its debut on Monday, May 4, at 9 a.m.
As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.
When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
