Long-time Northland NewsCenter sports director Tom Hansen is adding morning radio talk-show duties to his schedule at KDAL, 610 AM. Here’s part of a news release:
It was 1985 and TV veteran Tom Hansen first broadcast on AM radio in Duluth-Superior. He was covering sports as well as broadcasting play-by-play for UMD football. Twenty-seven years later, Tom Hansen, Sport Director of The Northland’s NewsCenter, returns to 610 KDAL radio to co-host the 9-11a.m. time slot Monday through Friday.
Tom’s experience and interest in local topics, issues, and sports makes him the perfect candidate to take over for long-time radio host Dave Walter. Dave Walter has resigned from his position at KDAL to spend more time traveling and with his family. Along with co-host Dave Strandberg, the show will feature local talk, stories, interviews, and of course sports.
