I’m at American Family Field this morning, 20 minutes out from a press conference where we’re expecting details on the latest plan to fund stadium improvements.
Stay tuned to
@620wtmj
for the latest.
Coming soon to Milwaukee airwaves: "I'm Adam Roberts, on Newsradio WTMJ"
I'm excited to say I will soon be starting my next radio chapter as an on-air reporter for
@620wtmj
! Perfect timing as GKB Milwaukee makes their move to The Avenue downtown.
Other key points:
- Brewers lease extended to 2050
- Player salary taxes would be used to generate funds, no taxes would be raised
- Stadium would be winterized for year-round use
- 1% of stadium revenue would be returned to the state via shared revenue
Also now that I’ve got my schedule emailed to me, I’m happy to say I’ll be joining the
@1250AMTheFan
crew as a producer later this month!
Also, moving into the new place under a bunch of sleet yesterday was LESS than ideal lol
I also want to extend my condolences to the
@Brewers
organization following the passing of Davey Nelson. His addition to the tv and radio teams brought so much to Milwaukee broadcasts.
“Davey took every opportunity to turn a casual introduction into a lifelong relationship, and his legacy will live on in the positive impact he had on the lives of so many people."
The Milwaukee Brewers mourn the passing of Davey Nelson:
You know you’ve made it when you spend your work shift signing pictures of yourself!

A little late to the party, but I received my first
@WIBroadcasters
win this year for Best Newscast! It was about a year ago that I started handling most news coverage for the station, and I never thought this would be possible.
There was a sad lack of midway hawkers calling “try your luck with me”, and the merry go round was closed, so no wheezing the same old melody…
But I did make a memory that will last forever!
The patent pending Giannis Special on this victory Wednesday ( no Chick-Fil-A in La Crosse) Frosty, Chicken Nuggets, and half Sprite half lemonade!

Earlier today, I spoke with Winona State softball head coach Greg Jones on his team's walk-off NSIC tournament win, his two pitching aces, and how everyone stays focused on their academics amidst the demands of college athletics.
I can't begin to tell you all how excited I am to start working at a station that left its mark on me from a young age living in SE Wisconsin. I'm honored to become part of the great Newsradio 620 WTMJ legacy as the station enters into its next chapter!
Assembly Bill 438 passes through the Wisconsin Senate by a 19-14 vote.
It will now head back to the Assembly, where a nod of approval would send the American Family Field package to the governor's desk.
The Marshfield community has a gem in the new Kenneth and Ardyce Heiting Community Stadium. Spartans and Tigers kick off at 7pm on ESPN Sparta 102.1!

Sparta gets another complete game effort on the mound, this time from Hunter Steinhoff, who allows just three hits in a 4-0 Spartan win over Tomah. Sparta is now 10-4 overall.

Hey everyone,
Please make sure to take care of your mental health. I know there’s been a big push for this recently, and that’s awesome! But it really is super important to take it as seriously as any other illness/injury you may deal with.
I think
@DanPlocher
might be the happiest person in the Milwaukee metro this weekend. What a nice win for the Lions and a DEVASTATING loss for Minnesota.
I’m at 74th and Congress on Milwaukee’s northwest side this morning, where
