Bonneville Denver reveals a new lineup on Sports KKFN-FM (104.3 The Fan) in Denver, effective Tuesday, September 19. "The Drive with Zach Bye and Denver, Colorado's own Phillip Lindsay" begins a new era for the station's flagship program airing weekdays from 2-6pm. A Denver native, Lindsay (pictured) gained notoriety locally as a star running back at Denver South High School. He then attended the University of Colorado before joining the Denver Broncos where he was named to the Pro Bowl as a rookie and posted consecutive 1,000-yard rushing seasons.

"I can't put into words how thrilled I am to team up with Zach and begin my new career in this city that means absolutely everything to me," said Lindsay. "I know what it means to be from Denver, I've lived here my entire life. This is my city. This is my home. I'm going to give it everything I've got, just like I did every time I stepped on the field here."

Lindsay will team with Zach Bye, who has spent the past seven years hosting middays at 104.3 The Fan as well as DenverSports.com's "Mile High Hoops" podcast.

"It remains incredibly humbling to be a part of this community and 104.3 The Fan," said Bye. "I'm honored to join Phil, as we carry on the incredible legacy of 'The Drive' while making the show our own."

Replacing Bye as Brandon Stokley's partner will be Josh Dover on the new program "Stokley and Josh," airing weekdays from 10am-2pm. Dover joins the station after spending the past seven years in Denver with Kroenke Sports and Entertainment (KKSE-FM) where he hosted middays. Like Lindsay, Dover has significant local ties to the Denver area where he graduated from Northglenn High School and recently served as the In-Arena Host of the NBA Champion Denver Nuggets.

"I grew up here in Denver listening to The Fan and began my radio career dreaming of becoming a host on the station," said Dover. "I'm pinching myself that I'll have the opportunity to team up with Stoke every day to talk about the teams I love and do it on The Fan."

104.3 The Fan will extend its morning show "Schlereth and Evans" by an additional hour. Mark Schlereth and Mike Evans will broadcast from 6-10am, weekday mornings.

"We are proud to usher in a new generation here on 104.3 The Fan," said Bonneville Denver SVP/Market Manager Katie Reid. "This new lineup will provide a stable and consistent listening experience for our audience. We're extremely excited to welcome both Phil and Josh, as their high character, dynamic personalities and passion for their Denver community will resonate deeply with our audience."
