In an expansion of its sports broadcasting schedule, Bonneville Phoenix has announced that local sports radio veterans Mike Muraco, known as "Roc," and Dan Manucci, affectionately called "Manuch," will host a new afternoon show on KTAR-AM (ESPN 620). The program, entitled "Roc and Manuch with Jimmy B.," is set to air weekdays from 1-4pm, starting Monday, January 6.

Bonneville Phoenix Senior Vice President and Market Manager Ryan Hatch said, "Roc and Manuch have cultivated a dedicated fan base over the past two decades, and their addition will only enhance our lineup," said Hatch. "Our commitment to delivering compelling, multichannel content to Valley sports enthusiasts remains unwavering."

The new show promises to enrich KTAR's sports coverage, which already includes ESPN network staples such as "Unsportsmanlike with Evan, Chris, and Michelle," "Greeny with Mike Greenberg," and exclusive broadcasting rights to major sporting events like the NBA Finals, World Series, and College Football Playoff. Listeners can also access "Roc and Manuch with Jimmy B." via live stream or podcast on ArizonaSports.com and through the Arizona Sports app.

Muraco expressed his excitement about joining the KTAR team: "We can't wait to bring our show to one of the biggest signals in the Southwest. ESPN 620, alongside Arizona Sports 98.7 and ArizonaSports.com, dominate the market for local sports coverage, and we are thrilled to be part of such a dynamic team."
