The McMahon Group
Guests - 2/07
The big event is Sunday at 4:30. The Super Bowl? No- the McMahon Group, and this Sunday Robert Robb from the Arizona Republic, former police officer Paul Penzone and sports personality Katy Hartley will be talking about a number of contests- the Super Bowl, the budget and the election. The McMahon Group, 4:30 p.m. on News-Talk 92.3 KTAR.
Every week, three community leaders from three different fields get together to dissect the major and minor news stories of the week on the McMahon Group at 4 p.m. Sundays.
