Audacy is leaning even harder into local credibility in Denver, bringing a well-known name back to the daily lineup as Nate Lundy takes over afternoons on KAMP-AM (The Bet 1430).
Lundy will host “Mile High Sports” weekdays from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Mountain, giving the station a local, personality-driven bridge in the middle of a schedule largely built on national sports betting content.
And make no mistake — this isn’t just another hire. This is a strategic move.
Because Lundy isn’t just a host. He’s one of the most connected sports media figures in Colorado.
With more than three decades in radio and television, including the last 16 years in Denver, Lundy brings a résumé that spans both sides of the microphone — talent and executive. He currently serves as President and CEO of Mile High Sports, overseeing a multi-platform operation that covers the state’s major teams across radio, digital, print and television.
That dual role matters. A lot.
In a market like Denver, where fans expect more than surface-level takes, Lundy’s day-to-day involvement in content creation, editorial direction and business strategy gives him something many hosts simply don’t have — a full-picture understanding of how sports media actually works.
Audacy clearly sees that as an advantage.
“Nate’s encyclopedic sports knowledge and deep ties to the Denver community make him an incredible asset,” said brand manager Mike Peterson in announcing the move.
Translation: This is about credibility.
KAMP-AM, branded as “The Bet 1430,” has built its identity around sports wagering content, aligning with the BetMGM network and a lineup that includes shows like “You Better You Bet” and “BetMGM Tonight.” But even in a betting-heavy format, local connection still wins — and that’s where Lundy fits.
His show drops right into the middle of the station’s weekday lineup, following midday programming and leading into evening betting shows, effectively serving as the local heartbeat of the station.
And Lundy understands exactly what that means.
“I’ve spent more than 35 years in radio and television, the last 16 right here in Denver,” he said. “I am so happy to join Audacy as a local voice, and more importantly, as a local fan.”
That last part — local fan — is what makes this work.
Because in 2026, sports radio isn’t just about information. It’s about authenticity. Listeners can get stats anywhere. They can get odds anywhere. What they can’t get everywhere is someone who actually lives the teams, knows the market, and understands the emotional swings of a Broncos Sunday or a Nuggets playoff run.
Lundy checks every one of those boxes.
He started in radio at just 16 years old and has since worked coast to coast, hosting local and nationally syndicated programs while also helping shape major-market stations behind the scenes. That kind of background shows up on the air — not just in knowledge, but in pacing, instincts and the ability to connect.
And in a format like sports betting, where personality can sometimes take a backseat to data, that connection becomes even more valuable.
For Audacy, this is also a signal.
The company continues to emphasize local talent in key dayparts, even as national programming remains a core part of its strategy. With more than 200 stations and a massive digital footprint, Audacy has the scale — but moves like this show it still understands the importance of local voices cutting through the noise.
For KAMP-AM, the addition of Lundy could be the difference between being just another betting station and being a destination.
Because when you combine wagering insight with real, lived-in sports conversation, you get something more compelling — something that feels less like a feed and more like a show.
And in Denver, that matters.
Listeners can tune in to “Mile High Sports” on 1430 AM in the Denver market, or stream it nationally through the Audacy app and website, expanding the reach well beyond Colorado.
That’s the other piece of this story.
This isn’t just a local hire for a local station. It’s a local voice with a national distribution platform — a combination that, when it works, can elevate both the brand and the talent.
For Lundy, it’s a return to a more traditional daily radio rhythm — but with the added weight of everything he’s built on the executive side.
For Audacy, it’s a calculated bet on experience, credibility and connection.
And for Denver sports fans, it’s a familiar voice back where it belongs — right in the middle of the conversation.
