Green Bay sports station adds DePaul grad Marie Kane to team
WFRV's Sports Director Kyle Malzhan introduced Marie Kane as the newest member of the sports team on Sports Xtra. Kane comes from DePaul University, where she studied sports journalism and served as general manager of the campus radio station for three years. She will be based in Green Bay.
Marie Kane joins WFRV’s sports desk after a collegiate career rooted in broadcasting. At DePaul, she focused on sports journalism and spent three years as general manager of the campus radio station, gaining hands-on experience in production and leadership. Her move to Green Bay places her within the station’s local sports coverage, working alongside Sports Director Kyle Malzhan on the Sports Xtra program. Kane’s background in student media suggests a foundation in both reporting and team coordination, though her specific on-air duties have not been detailed. The hire reflects a common path from campus media to regional sports television.
This addition could strengthen local sports coverage in Green Bay, a market with passionate fan bases. Viewers may benefit from fresh reporting perspectives, while young journalists might see a viable career route from student radio to professional sports media. The station’s investment in emerging talent could also signal a commitment to developing homegrown broadcasters, though its broader impact on audience engagement remains to be seen.
