Mike Max, the long-time host of WCCO radio's "Sports to the Max," is taking over for one of the Twin Cities' most familiar sports personalities.
Maxie on Tuesday was named sports director at WCCO television.
It's a familiar place for Mike, who started his career at Channel 4 as an intern and sports producer before his 20 plus years as a sports anchor on the station.
He will continue to host his show on WCCO radio.
“I grew up on WCCO and am honored to lead a part of its legacy with some of the finest people who work in television for one of the finest television stations in the country," he said.
Maxie takes over the sports director position after the retirement Mark Rosen, who left WCCO TV after a 50 year career.
