Brian Kenny Premieres New Show on NBC Sports Radio

NBC Sports Radio announced today that Brian Kenny, MLB Network and Showtime host, and formerly of ESPN, will host The Brian Kenny Show in the 9am-12n ET Monday-Friday slot, as the network completes its roster and rolls out 24/7 sports talk programming on Monday, April 1st.

A respected interviewer, Kenny will go one-on-one with some of the biggest names in sports. Additionally known for his adept skill as a "numbers cruncher," he will also go beyond the scores and delve into the data, breaking down the analytics of the games.

A 25-year national television and radio veteran, Kenny hosts the popular Clubhouse Confidential on MLB Network and covers boxing for Showtime. Kenny formerly hosted The Brian Kenny Show on ESPN Radio. He also anchored SportsCenter and Baseball Tonight, and called play-by-play for ESPN's Wednesday Night Baseball and the World Baseball Classic. Kenny was named "Media Personality of the Year" by SI.com in 2004.

Brian Kenny says, "I'm thrilled to be joining the team at NBC Sports Radio and Dial Global and I am excited to be back on the airwaves. We look forward to building a show that fosters intelligent sports conversation with in-depth analysis. It's going to be a blast."

Chris Corcoran, Executive Vice President, General Manager, Dial Global, adds, "I've always enjoyed Brian's unique perspective on sports and his incredible interview skills. He's going to make listeners think outside the box and will deliver one of the most intelligent national sports talk shows to the scene."

Rob Simmelkjaer, SVP, NBC Sports Ventures, said "Brian and I have worked together in the past and I know he is a consummate pro who truly loves radio. He will be a great listen, day in and day out."
