The Trenton Thunder have inked a deal with FOX Sports 920 The Jersey to serve as their flagship radio station for the 2017 season. The broadcast agreement starts with today’s home opener. Games will air primarily on 920, but a few select contests will be carried on 1040 AM WCHR throughout the summer.
“When we launched 920AM The Jersey in January 2016, as the exclusive local sports station, our desire was to eventually air the Trenton Thunder games,” said Connoisseur Media COO/General Manager David Bevins. “It’s a great partnership and we are excited about this opportunity.”
920 The Jersey’s weekday lineup include FOX Sports Radio’s Clay Travis, Dan Patrick and Colin Cowherd. The radio station features a local afternoon show, “The Zach Gelb show,” weekdays from 4p-6p ET.
The Thunder meanwhile are the Double-A affiliate for the New York Yankees. For more information on the team, visit www.TrentonThunder.com.
