I provide live sports updates every morning covering the latest on all four Morgan County high schools. I also provide play-by-play for the Fort Morgan Mustangs broadcasting football, basketball, baseball, volleyball, softball and wrestling.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, I worked for Media Logic Radio&#8217;s Yuma station and I hosted a daily morning music show on Yuma&#8217;s Own KNEC based in Yuma, Colorado. Additionally, I provided radio play-by-play for football basketball, volleyball, wrestling, baseball and softball.<\/p>\n<p>I previously worked for Hub City Radio in Aberdeen, South Dakota, from August 2018 to August 2019, where I hosted a morning radio show on 1380\/99.9 KQKD from 6-10am, a midday news\/sports show from 11-1pm, an afternoon show on Sunny 97.7 from 2-7pm and I provided play-by-play for all of the football and basketball games for Redfield-Doland High School.<\/p>\n<p>While in South Dakota I completed two seasons as the broadcaster for the Hub City Hotshots, a summer league baseball team in Aberdeen, South Dakota.

I also produced the pregame and postgame show that are complete with interviews from coaches and players.<\/p>\n<p>I was the broadcaster for the Palm Springs Power Baseball Club in Palm Springs, California in the summer of 2017. This is a summer collegiate baseball team that takes current college players and brings them in to play summer ball. I called over 35 games working as both the play-by-play and color commentator. I also wrote post-game recaps for the team website and league website as well as feature articles about the team and players. I also hosted, shot and edited pregame shows for the team&#8217;s Facebook page.<\/p>\n<p>I attended Georgia State University for my freshman year and had a brief stint on the football team as a walk on.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.markymarkbrand.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/mark10.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-482\" src=\"http:\/\/www.markymarkbrand.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/mark10-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.markymarkbrand.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/mark10-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/www.markymarkbrand.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/mark10-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.markymarkbrand.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/mark10-700x933.jpg 700w, http:\/\/www.markymarkbrand.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/mark10-520x693.jpg 520w, http:\/\/www.markymarkbrand.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/mark10-360x480.jpg 360w, http:\/\/www.markymarkbrand.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/mark10-250x333.jpg 250w, http:\/\/www.markymarkbrand.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/mark10-100x133.jpg 100w, http:\/\/www.markymarkbrand.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/mark10.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I left the team and became the running backs coach for Johnson Ferry Christian Academy for the rest of that year.<\/p>\n<p>I then transferred to the University of Georgia where I where I graduated from the Grady College of Journalism with a degree in Journalism and a certificate in Sports Media in December 2017.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Resume:<\/strong><\/p>\n<iframe src=\"\/\/docs.google.com\/viewer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.markymarkbrand.com%2Fwordpress%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2025%2F02%2FMark-Cochran-Resume-Radio-2025.docx.pdf&hl=en_US&embedded=true\" class=\"gde-frame\" style=\"width:100%; height:500px; border: none;\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<p class=\"gde-text\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.markymarkbrand.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Mark-Cochran-Resume-Radio-2025.docx.pdf\" class=\"gde-link\">Download (PDF, 113KB)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Currently, I work for Media Logic Radio in Fort Morgan, Colorado as the Sports Director for Hometown Radio KFTM.
