The important figures who make the biggest decisions in Arizona sports join Bickley & Marotta for a busy week each February.

The goal? To reset and key in on the main storylines for the state’s teams. The Arizona Cardinals prep for the draft after a test run with Kyler Murray under center for Jonathan Gannon, the Phoenix Suns and their Big Three aim to put things together for the postseason and the Arizona Diamondbacks come off a World Series run with new expectations.

The Valley is set to host a Final Four, the Arizona Coyotes continue to search for a permanent home for their arena and the Arizona Wildcats enter a new era in the football and athletic director offices.

Newsmakers from the Arizona State Sun Devils, Grand Canyon Antelopes, Phoenix Rising FC and leaders of local events from the WM Phoenix Open, Fiesta Bowl and Phoenix Raceway additionally join Arizona Sports.

Newsmakers Week runs Tuesday through Friday on Bickley & Marotta from 6 a.m. through 10 a.m. Visit this page for links to past interviews and the schedule of those upcoming.
