It’s a rare occasion when Derek Nester gets to watch an American Football Conference game at Arrowhead Stadium, even though he’s studio director of radio broadcasts for the Chiefs Radio Network.
Nester, a 2000 Valley Heights graduate who lives and works in the Kansas City area, will oversee all studio operations on Sunday’s pregame, halftime and postgame broadcasts of the AFC championship game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Chiefs.
