KFAN signs extension for Minnesota Wild radio broadcast rights
KFAN has reached an agreement with the Minnesota Wild to extend its radio broadcasting rights to all preseason, regular season and Stanley Cup Playoff games through the 2027-28 season.
"The Wild organization is a great partner, and we are excited to be broadcasting their games for the next five years,” said iHeartMedia Market President Greg Alexander in a statement on Friday. “With such a loyal fan base spanning the state, we see many opportunities to provide the dynamic and extensive coverage loyal fans want.”
KFAN, an iHeartMedia station, is currently in its 13th season as the radio flagship of the Wild.
The station also reached an agreement last month to become the new flagship for the Minnesota Timberwolves and Minnesota Lynx, ending a 12-year partnership with WCCO-AM.
“We are thrilled to continue the amazing partnership with the Minnesota Wild,” added iHeartSports President Kevin LeGrett. “With this extension, we will continue to build upon the innovative coverage of the team, incorporate streaming and podcasting elements as well as collaborate on events that will enhance the Wild’s brand throughout the country!”
