Press Release:
UCF Athletics and iHeartMedia Orlando have extended their partnership for four additional years to keep WYGM/FM 96.9/740AM The Game as the flagship station for Knights' radio broadcasts through the 2025-26 season.
The new agreement begins with the 2022-23 school year that will mark the 28th consecutive year of Knights' athletics on The Game. UCF contests will continue to be carried on FM 96.9 and 740AM The Game. All UCF contests also can be heard on the iHeartRadio app as well.
The agreement includes all UCF football and men’s basketball games as well as a selection of baseball games—plus UCF Knight Talk, 16 weekly hour-long remote shows featuring UCF coaches and student-athletes. The longtime play-by-play voice of the Knights is Marc Daniels.
“UCF has been a terrific partner throughout my tenure with iHeartMedia Orlando, and I look forward to working with the university to grow the partnership in years to come,” says Scott Harris, program director for 96.9FM/740AM The Game.
“We are excited to continue our long-standing partnership with UCF that will span 30-plus years with this agreement. Today, it is as exciting to be the premier broadcast partner of UCF athletics as 30 years ago. Go, Knights, Charge On!” adds Barbara Latham, area president, iHeartMedia, Central Florida.
UCF vice president and director of athletics Terry Mohajir echoed the sentiments of Harris and Latham: “UCF Athletics has benefited tremendously from the huge role iHeartMedia has played in expanding the Knights’ brand. UCF has a commanding radio presence in the Orlando market and the iHeart Radio app offers a world-wide reach. This is a longstanding partnership that has grown through the years, and we are thrilled to extend the collaboration.”
