KIFM/Sacramento Adds New Midday Show with Ham & Madson


The Insiders
The Insiders

KIFM-AM (ESPN 1320) in Sacramento adds "The Insiders" with James Ham and Kyle Madson, weekdays from 10am-12pm PT. A Sacramento native, Ham began covering the Sacramento Kings as a full-time beat writer during the 2010 season for ESPN's TrueHoop Network. Over the last 13 seasons, he's provided daily coverage of the Kings as a credentialed media member for ESPN, NBA.com, NBC Sports Bay Area and now at The Kings Beat.

Madson is a Bay Area native who has taken on Sacramento as a second home. The Sacramento State graduate has pursued a radio career since college and spent time in the Sacramento and Bay Area markets. Aside from radio, he's also found a role as a blogger and podcaster covering the San Francisco 49ers.

"James Ham and Kyle Madson are two seasoned voices in the world of Sacramento sports, and their deep knowledge and passion for the local sports scene make them the perfect duo to lead this exciting new midday show," Audacy Sacramento Regional President Stacey Kauffman, "We believe 'The Insiders' will provide our listeners with insightful analysis, engaging conversations and a unique perspective on all things sports in Sacramento."

"I am extremely excited to expand my role at ESPN 1320 and give Sacramento listeners more daily local content to digest," added Ham. "D-Lo and KC have built an incredible community and platform. Adding 'The Insiders' show should be considered an extension of that brand. I look forward to working with Kyle Madson and am ready for the new adventure ahead."

"Getting to join ESPN 1320 is something I've wanted to do for a long time," said Madson. "What Damien, Kenny, Jesse and Charlie have helped build from the ground up is super unique in this medium, and I think the direction they're heading is really fresh and exciting. I also want to thank Stacey Kauffman and Aaron Roberts for allowing me to take this big leap in my career. I don't take their trust lightly, and I look forward to jumping in to help ESPN 1320 continue its climb."
