Meet the new voices of the Denver Nuggets revamped broadcast team

Aug 19, 2026, 3:43 PM

For the first time in over two decades, Nuggets fans will turn on the TV this fall and hear unfamiliar voices calling Jokic’s triple-doubles. The team’s new broadcast lineup for the 2026-27 season was announced Wednesday (Aug. 19), and it’s a full reset.

Noah Reed, a rising play-by-play talent out of northeast Indiana who has been calling college football and basketball for Fox Sports and NBC Sports, will be the new television voice of the Denver Nuggets.

Sitting next to him will be Katy Winge, who gets the full-time promotion to lead color analyst after spending eight years working her way up from host and reporter to the analyst chair.

Rounding out the crew: Lauren Gardner, a Denver native who has worked as a host for MLB Network, NHL Network and Apple TV’s MLB coverage, returns home as the studio host and sideline. And former NBA standout Jason Richardson, the fifth overall pick in 2001, a two-time consecutive Slam Dunk champion and 14-year veteran, joins as the studio analyst, with select appearances as a second color commentator on home broadcasts.

The new team replaces longtime play-by-play voice Chris Marlowe, color commentator Scott Hastings and reporter/analyst Chris Dempsey, who were let go earlier this summer after being the voices Nuggets fans grew up with, including through the franchise’s 2023 championship run. There’s no sugarcoating it: turning on the home opener against New Orleans on Oct. 24 and not hearing Marlowe and Hastings will feel strange for a lot of people.
