When Mark Rosen left WCCO-TV earlier this year, he vowed to keep busy. He's backing up that promise with three new shows for the Minnesota Vikings.
The long-time Twin Cities broadcaster confirmed Wednesday that he'll be hosting "Under Center with Kirk Cousins," a weekly, pre-taped series that will air Tuesdays on KFAN-FM starting Sept. 3 with an episode featuring the quarterback and his father.
He'll also look back at Vikings legends in another weekly show, "Skol Stories," that will premiere Thursdays on KFAN, starting Sept. 5. Both programs are being produced by the Vikings and will be available on several of the team's media platforms.
In addition, Rosen will preside over a halftime update during Minnesota home games, available exclusively to fans at U.S. Bank Stadium.
"Mark has a passion for storytelling that aligns with our goal of producing valuable content and experiences for Vikings fans," said team vice president of content and publications Bryan Harper. "His impressive career, along with his credibility in the market and extensive knowledge of the team, made this a natural partnership."
Despite working for the Vikings, Rosen said he's committed to remaining objective.
"No one is going to tell me what to ask," he said. "No one is going to prevent me from saying anything. People know me better than that."
