KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Kansas City Chiefs have announced their preseason television and radio talent teams for the 2025 season. The club’s in-house preseason television network will return its full crew from 2024 while both the Chiefs Radio Network and Tico Sports will have new voices on the air in 2025.
“We are excited to continue with a tremendous lineup to represent the club for the preseason broadcasts. Our goal is to consistently deliver world-class broadcasts to Chiefs Kingdom, and it all begins with a trip to Glendale, Arizona, to kick off the preseason against the Arizona Cardinals on August 9,” Chiefs Vice President of Content and Production Robert Alberino, Jr. said. “In addition, we’re continuing our great partnerships with Audacy as well as Tico Sports for our radio broadcasts. The quality of broadcasts available to Chiefs Kingdom over the radio airwaves throughout preseason, regular season, and postseason are second-to-none and are reflective of the incredibly talented teams at the Chiefs Radio Network and Tico Sports.”
The Chiefs Preseason Television booth will feature national broadcast veteran Ari Wolfe as the play-by-play announcer for the sixth season in 2025. Former Pro Bowl quarterback and NFL on CBS analyst Trent Green returns to the booth for his 15th season as the preseason crew’s color commentator. Joining Wolfe and Green for her fourth year as sideline reporter for the Chiefs Preseason Television team is Kimmi Chex, a Kansas City, Missouri, native and on-air host and personality for NFL Media. Chiefs Senior Team Reporter Matt McMullen is entering his fifth season delivering sideline features and reports for the preseason broadcasts. All three preseason games are produced by 65 Toss Power Trap Productions. All preseason games will air locally on KSHB 41.
The Chiefs Radio Network is anchored by Audacy’s 96.5 The Fan (KFNZ-FM). “Voice of the Chiefs” Mitch Holthus returns for his 32nd season as the club’s play-by-play personality. Holthus has called a team-record 533 career regular and postseason games for the club, earning eight Kansas Sportscaster of the Year awards and one Missouri Sportscaster of the Year award. Joining Holthus in the booth for the sixth year is former Chiefs wide receiver and current Kansas City Ambassador Danan Hughes, who has been broadcasting football and baseball as part of the Big Ten Network since 2008, as well as Chiefs pregame and postgame shows on local television since 2014.
