KKFN-FM (Sports Radio 104.3 The Fan) Denver adds Mike Pritchard as a contributor, effective August 9. He'll also co-host the "Pritchard and Cecil" program, weekdays from 9-10am, alongside Cecil Lammey starting August 16. The former NFL player returned to his native Las Vegas following his playing career and was most recently a co-host of the "Mitch & Pritch Show" on ESPN Las Vegas 1100 AM/100.9 FM. Pritchard has served as the color commentator for UNLV football games for the last 11 seasons and previously worked as an analyst in Colorado.

"We're thrilled to have Mike back on the air in the same place where his illustrious football career began," said KKFN Program Director Armen Williams. "This addition serves to solidify our mission to provide the best knowledge and inside information regarding the NFL and football in general."

Pritchard added, "I'm beyond excited to become a member of the Sports Radio 104.3 The Fan family and be a contributor to one of the strongest lineups in all of sports talk radio. It's an honor to work side by side with The Fan's great talent, and I am ready for this remarkable opportunity. In 1987, I forged some lifelong friendships at CU. I'm thrilled to be back to build new relationships in the great state of Colorado."

Pritchard was the most valuable player on the University of Colorado's 1990 national championship team, playing football for the Buffaloes from 1987 to 1990. And of the nine Buffs players selected in the 1991 NFL Draft, Pritchard was drafted the highest, at number 13 overall by the Atlanta Falcons. Pritchard played nine seasons in the NFL -- Atlanta from 1991-93, Denver from 1994-95 and Seattle from 1996-99.
