"We try our best to respect the game and showcase and display it in a fashion that might be a little bit more appetizing for a different group of people that are watching alongside the best play commentators on Earth."
"This renewed agreement reflects the unmatched reach of Westwood One’s audio network and our shared commitment to elevating the championship experience for athletes, schools, and listeners everywhere."
"Sports radio is at its best when it embraces personality and fun over expertise. The hosts who succeed during the NCAA tournament aren’t necessarily the ones breaking down pick-and-roll coverage."
"Westwood One will again serve as the national audio home of the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship, delivering play-by-play coverage of every game throughout the 2026 tournament as part of its long-running partnership with the NCAA."
"We look forward to honoring the content that moved audiences in 2026 and continuing the Gracies’ long-standing investment in the people who will shape what comes next.”
