With a new football season fast approaching, Marquee Sports Network announced its plans for the upcoming Bears' season, highlighted by 3 notable new hires.

First, former Bears' Head Coach Dave Wannstedt will replace former Bears' quarterback Jim Miller as host Cole Wright's new studio analyst on "The Official Bears' Postgame Live: Presented by United Airlines" immediately following all games. ESPN 1000 AM/Bears Radio Network's Jeff Joniak will be live at the stadium providing postgame interviews. The show will also include coverage of Head Coach Matt Eberflus & quarterback Caleb Williams' postgame press conferences starting September 8 once the Bears/Titans' game ends at Soldier Field.

As for Coach Wannstedt, he'll continue his appearances on NBC 5's "Sports Sunday", even when NBC Sports Chicago signs off for good. He'll also continue to be heard weekly on 670 AM The SCORE's "Mully & Haugh" morning show.

Former Bears' kicker Robbie Gould will also join Marquee for the 2nd season of "Bears Den". Hosted by Taylor McGregor, the show discusses the biggest trends around the NFL & involving the Bears with special guests. "Bears Den" premieres September 10 and will air every Tuesday.

Former Bears' wide receiver & ESPN 1000 afternoon co-host Tom Waddle joins host Elise Menaker for the new season of "Bear Essentials" Fridays starting September 13 to break down the Bears' game, player matchups, keys & predictions.

Last but not least, Marquee has also hired Scott Bair, a 15 year veteran covering the Raiders, Chargers & Falcons, as the network's new Bears' Insider. Bair will contribute to "The Official Bears' Postgame Live" with insights & reports from each Bears' game this season.

Wannstedt & Gould made their first appearances on Marquee's "Cubs Live" as well as during Sunday's Blue Jays/Cubs' game broadcast.
