Since 1990, KCFX, a.k.a. "101 The Fox", has broadcast all Chiefs games on FM radio under the moniker of The Chiefs Fox Football Radio Network. Beginning in 1994, Mitch Holthus has served as play-by-play announcer. In 2016, former Kansas City Chief Kendall Gammon began to transition from his duties as a sideline reporter to color analyst. Prior to 2017, the role of color analyst was performed by Hall of Fame Quarterback Len Dawson. Dawson announced his retirement, making 2017 his 33rd and final year of broadcasting chiefs football.
