KFAN has signed an extension that will see the iHeartMedia-owned station remain the radio flagship of the Minnesota Wild.
With the new deal, the NHL franchise will remain with the station through the 2027-2028 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. “With such a loyal fan base spanning the state, we see many opportunities to provide the dynamic and extensive coverage loyal fans want.”
“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!”
All preseason, regular season, and Stanley Cup Playoff games featuring the Wild will be heard on the station.
KFAN is currently in its 13th season as the radio flagship of the franchise. The extended deal coincides with the station’s signing of the NBA’s Minnesota Timberwolves to a digital/terrestrial radio hybrid with the iHeartMedia station.
