Starting next season Chicago Blackhawks fans will have a new favorite radio preset when it comes to listening to their favorite team's broadcats.
This morning the Blackhawks announced all home and road games will move from WSCR-670 AM and will be broadcast on WGN-720 AM.
The three-year deal will run through the 2010-11 season.
“This is a big step forward in the new direction of this franchise,” said Blackhawks President John McDonough. “WGN Radio is one of the most powerful and prestigious stations in the country and will play an integral role in delivering our great product to as wide an audience as possible.”
As Chicago's top-rated radio station, WGN's signal reached 38 states and Canada, and also offers internet streaming audio worldwide.
“WGN Radio is the Voice of Chicago and we’re proud to now also be the Voice of the Blackhawks,” said Tom Langmyer, Vice President/General Manager of WGN Radio. “WGN Radio and the Blackhawks truly represent the essence of life in Chicago and we’re thrilled to bring our listeners the excitement of Blackhawks hockey.”
The Blackhawks recently reached a deal with several television stations in which WGN-TV will air some games next season.
