The Northland's Sports Page, broadcast on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to noon on 106.5FM/AM 560 The Fan, will celebrate its 7th anniversary in November.

"Dave Cook and I have had a blast along with others like Dave Hoops and Steve Pitoscia, who have been regular contributors," said show co-host Brian Prudhomme. "My goal is to always provide the ideal balance of prep, college and professional sports banter for our area, both current and historically speaking. You never know when you might hear from Erik Lofald, Rhett McDonald, Bill Watson or Paul Allen, or all of the above. To me, that’s the beauty of the show. These are two of my favorite hours every week."
