We’re excited to bring our fans the best talent in the market and give them the most entertaining sports coverage Wisconsin has to offer.”

Regarding the morning show, Thomas said, “I’m beyond grateful to be a member of this team and one half of the new morning show, ‘Inside Wisconsin Sports’ with Trevor and Josh. I don’t think we’re prepared for how much fun this show is going to be, but we’re ready to find out.” Albrecht followed, “I’m thrilled to be joining this incredible lineup of talent and bringing my voice to a whole new audience. I look forward to connecting and entertaining our listeners as well as being the voice of The Fan!”
