<\/a> Patrick Dahl<\/p><\/div>\n

They\u2019re not exactly following in their famous father\u2019s footsteps, but two of radio legend Steve Dahl\u2019s sons are now working together in the content creation business.<\/p>\n

Coinciding with the relaunch this week of Chicago-based video production company Banner, <\/a>Patrick Dahl, 38, has been promoted to president, and brother Michael Dahl, 36, has signed on as executive producer.<\/p>\n

Michael Dahl<\/p><\/div>\n

Founded by Danny Wirtz, Banner is a commercial spinoff of Blackhawks TV, the internal video unit of the Chicago Blackhawks. In addition to the Wirtz family\u2019s NHL franchise, clients include such outside brands as the Chicago Cubs, Google, Amazon and Reddi-Wip, among others.<\/p>\n

\u201cPatrick [Dahl] is an intuitive and creative leader that not only brings great ideas to life but has built a skilled team around him that has delivered some amazing work over the years,\u201d Danny Wirtz said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Now that team includes Michael Dahl, who brings 14 years of experience as a producer for advertising agencies and clients.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs an increasing base of sponsors began asking us to create video content outside the scope of their sponsorship agreements, we realized that there was an opportunity for us to build a standalone video production agency,\u201d Patrick Dahl said. \u201cBanner\u2019s incredible team has evolved into a creator of cutting-edge content and, with today\u2019s announcement, we are well-positioned to provide creative needs to our clients in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Matt Dahl<\/p><\/div>\n

A third brother (and the youngest son of Steve and Janet Dahl), Matt Dahl, 34, won a regional Emmy Award Saturday for a documentary he produced on retired announcer Ken \u201cHawk\u201d Harrelson\u00a0in his former role as manager of digital video at the Chicago White Sox. Matt Dahl now works full-time as a firefighter in Mount Prospect.<\/p>\n

For legions of loyal listeners who still remember when all three Dahl sons were born \u2014 and followed their daily lives on the radio from childhood to parenthood \u2014 all this good news is a moment to savor.<\/p>\n

So what does their Radio Hall of Famer dad make of it?<\/p>\n

\u201cI speak from experience when I say that each of my three sons possesses formidable talent,\u201d Steve Dahl told me. \u201cTwo together are unstoppable \u2014 especially when Danny Wirtz has their back. Please remind them that I am available for voice-over work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sunday's comment of the day:<\/a> Bob Jordan:<\/strong> Jackie [Bange] and I were a team for over 20 years. She is an outstanding, serious journalist and a warm and down-to-earth person. Jen Lyons used to be our producer before going into management. I am thrilled that she is now the news director at WGN Television. I am so proud of her and the other talented members of the [Silver Circle] class of 2020. Bravo to you all!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
