The Tulsa Drillers and iHeartMedia are adding another chapter to one of Minor League Baseball’s longest-running broadcast relationships, extending their radio partnership through the 2026 season.
The organization announced that all 138 Drillers games during the upcoming campaign will again air live on AM 1430, The Buzz, continuing a connection that now spans four decades.
The agreement marks 40 consecutive years of collaboration between the Drillers and iHeartMedia. While also solidifying the station’s role as the team’s flagship radio home for a 22nd straight season.
Consistency has been a defining feature of the iHeartMedia partnership, and that theme extends to the broadcast booth. Dennis Higgins will return as the official Voice of the Drillers for his 18th season with the club. He brings more than 35 years of broadcasting experience, including work at the Major League Baseball level with the San Francisco Giants. His career has also been recognized locally, as he was named Oklahoma Sportscaster of the Year in 2017.
Drillers broadcasts will again be available across multiple iHeartMedia platforms. This ensures fans can follow the team in Tulsa or while listening from afar. In addition to live radio coverage on AM 1430 The Buzz, games will stream on the official Minor League Baseball app and the iHeart app. Each broadcast will typically be preceded by a 15-minute pregame show, offering listeners analysis and context before first pitch.
AM 1430 The Buzz serves Tulsa and Northeast Oklahoma as a 24-hour iHeartMedia sports radio station. It is also an affiliate of Fox Sports Radio. Its daily lineup is anchored by nationally recognized programs. These include The Dan Patrick Show and The Herd with Colin Cowherd. The station blends local sports coverage with prominent national voices.
The continued presence of Drillers baseball strengthens the station’s local identity while providing reliable access to the region’s Minor League Baseball team.
The upcoming season’s radio schedule will begin on Thursday, April 2, when the Drillers open their campaign against San Antonio.
