Veteran programmer John Lund is returning to Portland, OR, to host middays on Sports KXTG-FM (95.5 The Game), beginning October 4. Lund has spent the last dozen years in Sports radio, most recently as morning host and Operations Director of KZNS-AM/Salt Lake City. Lund has also programmed ESPN Radio outlets in both Dallas and Pittsburgh.

Alpha Broadcasting Director of Talk Programming Brian Jennings commented, "John's knowledge and talent for sports talk radio runs deep. He's the consummate fan, has a passion for the Ducks and the Blazers, great leadership skills and so many terrific ideas for his new show. I'm thrilled to have him join our team."

"I've always been a sports radio guy and have covered Super Bowls, Stanley Cup Finals, NBA Finals, the Ryder Cup, MLB All Star Games and NCAA Bowl Games," said Lund. "As a college football and NBA junkie I'm ready to bring my passion and energy to Portland sports fans and now I can share the perspective I've gained through my stops in Detroit, Dallas and Pittsburgh."

From 1998-2002, Lund hosted the afternoons on Sports/Talk KFXX-AM and was Assistant PD as well. He has hosted pre- and post-game shows on the Detroit Lions Radio Network and ran the Dallas Mavericks NBA Radio Network under Mark Cuban.
