1320 KFAN is proud to announce a major free agent signing—Kyle Gunther will be joining the team as a sports talk host.

Gunther on joining the 1320 KFAN team:
“I’m so grateful for the opportunity to work with someone as experienced as Kevin Graham and the rest of the 1320 team. I can’t wait to get back to what I do best which is fill people’s brains with sports entertainment on a daily basis!”

Program Director Kevin Graham on the signing:
“I can’t tell you how excited I am to have Kyle join the 1320 KFAN team. He is as talented as anyone in sports radio who has built quite the passionate following here in Utah and it’s understandable why. He provides great insight, is opinionated and a true entertainer. We expect he’ll do great things.”
