The Ramblin’ Wreck is sticking with The Fan. Dickey Broadcasting announced Wednesday that it’s Atlanta sports talker had reached an agreement with Georgia Tech on a multi-year extension for the school’s multimedia broadcast rights.
Under the terms of the deal, 680/93.7 The Fan will remain the flagship station of the Georgia Tech Sports Network. Yellow Jacket football and men’s basketball will be heard on the station.
“We are thrilled to extend our decades-long partnership with Georgia Tech Athletics and we are equally thrilled to be working with the great team at Legends,” Dickey Broadcasting president and general manager David Dickey said in a press release. “This expanded partnership creates a dynamic, multi-media platform in which to create and distribute Georgia Tech-focused content to Tech fans throughout the State of Georgia and the Southeast. We look forward to working with this incredible team for many years to come.”
In addition to live games, The Fan will carry plenty of shoulder programming. The station will air coaches shows featuring football coach Geoff Collins and basketball coach Josh Pastner. There will also be a weekly “Ask the AD” segment featuring Tech’s athletic director Todd Stansbury.
A new element in the partnership this year is that Dickey will take over full production of all Georgia Tech Sports Network broadcasts, making 680/93.7 The Fan more than just an affiliate. The company has a similar relationship with the Atlanta Braves.
