Former University of New Mexico and NBA power forward Kenny Thomas has taken over the 4-6pm afternoon show on Cumulus Media Sports “95.9 The Sports Animal” 610 KNML/K240BL Albuquerque.
Thomas has been hosting a weekly Saturday show on KNML and “Lobos Live” on News/Talk “Newsradio 96.3” 770 KKOB/96.3 KKOB-FM. He played for the Lobos from 1995 to 1999 before spending eleven years in the NBA with the Houston Rockets, Philadelphia 76ers, and Sacramento Kings.
Thomas said, “Albuquerque made me. I’ve played here, raised my family here, and I’ve never stopped talking hoops here. Taking afternoons on The Sports Animal means more time with Lobos fans and more honest conversations with the 505.”
Cumulus Albuquerque Program Director Brandon Vogt stated, “Kenny is authentic, competitive, and connected—the perfect fit for afternoons. He knows this market, he knows our teams, and he knows how to carry a locker room-level conversation on the radio. In this new role, Kenny will make a huge impact in the community and on the airwaves, continuing the tradition of great local sports talk in Albuquerque on New Mexico’s heritage sports station, The Sports Animal. We couldn’t be more excited.”
