“Nik is a fantastic sports broadcaster,” said John Malone, WLNX
General Manager. “He’s been nominated multiple times. He keeps getting better
and better. Plus, we finally landed on the perfect partner in Adam Hoffman to
round out the broadcast team. I’m looking forward to two more seasons with this
duo intact…along with more awards!”
