Colorado State University Athletics has announced a significant shift in its radio broadcast strategy, naming Denver Sports 104.3 The Fan (KKFN-FM) as the new flagship station for Rams football games beginning with the 2025 season. The move, a partnership between Bonneville Denver Media Group, LEARFIELD’s Rams Sports Properties, and CSU Athletics, represents a major enhancement in the visibility and accessibility of Rams football throughout Colorado. This strategic agreement means that all CSU football games will now be broadcast on one of the most prominent sports platforms in the region. “Securing a partnership with KKFN 104.3 The Fan, Denver’s largest sports radio station, ensures that every football game reaches fans and alumni in the Denver metro area and across Colorado,” said John Weber, CSU’s Director of Athletics. “This delivers unmatched coverage and fan engagement as we continue to drive CSU Athletics to new heights.” Listeners can expect full coverage of each Rams game, including pre-game and post-game shows, led by a team of familiar voices. Brian Roth returns as the “Voice of the Rams,” alongside Ricky Brewer, a former CSU linebacker, in the broadcast booth. Marty Cesario and Kevin McGlue will report from the sidelines, providing real-time analysis and updates. Roth will also continue to host the Colorado State Insider Podcast, available on CSU’s podcast homepage and The Varsity Network. Fans can access the broadcasts over the air on 104.3 FM or stream them via The Varsity Network app, ensuring connectivity across mobile and digital platforms. The addition of 104.3 The Fan strengthens the Colorado State Sports Network, which already includes 16 radio affiliates statewide. The goal is to bring consistent, high-quality coverage to Ram fans no matter where they live in Colorado.

Amanda Brown, Program Director of 104.3 The Fan, expressed excitement about the new partnership: “We’re thrilled to bring Colorado State Football broadcasts to Denver Sports 104.3 The Fan — one of the most recognized sports platforms in the region. This partnership gives Ram fans across Colorado even greater access to game-day action.” This partnership also reinforces LEARFIELD’s commitment to growing collegiate sports coverage by creating local, fan-driven experiences. Rams Sports Properties, the LEARFIELD team dedicated to CSU, will continue to manage all broadcast operations and corporate sponsorships connected to the program. With a strong broadcasting team, wider reach, and deeper fan engagement, the Rams are positioned for a more connected 2025 season — one that will resonate across the airwaves of Colorado.
