Cromwell Media’s VP/Market Manager Dennis Gwiazdon said, “The type of exciting sports content offered on 94.9 The Fan is not only unique by design; it’s the perfect complement to the live and local sports talk programming offered on sister station ESPN 102.5 The Game. We now offer a “one-stop shop” for all types of sports fans and sports bettors who want only the best local and national sports talk along with live sports broadcasts that include the Nashville Predators, the Nashville Sounds, MTSU football and men’s basketball, NASCAR, the Music City Grand Prix and much more.”
Program Director Chase McCabe added, “One of my goals as the new PD was to figure out a way to add OutKick 360 to our talented lineup. Re-imagining 94.9 as ‘The Fan’ made that possible because not only do we add three voices that Nashville knows, but we are able to bring Dan Patrick and Colin Cowherd back to the Music City while at the same time continuing to foster the growth of sports betting talk with VSiN. It’s a huge win for us and for our city.”

The addition of OutKick 360, originating from its home studio in downtown Nashville, marks the return to local broadcast radio for three of Nashville’s most popular sports talk hosts: Chad Withrow, Jonathan Hutton and Paul Kuharsky. “The number one question people have asked me since we joined OutKick Media is when they could hear us on Nashville radio again,” Hutton said. “The opportunity to partner with Cromwell Media and 94.9 The Fan is in sync with the vision and direction we have for OutKick 360. We live in Nashville and broadcast from downtown, and now we’re thrilled to be back on the radio providing the same entertaining show for the most loyal listener base in sports radio. I want to thank Bud Walters, Dennis Gwiazdon, Chase McCabe and the entire Cromwell Media team in Nashville for believing in our vision for sports talk and passion for winning.”
