The five-time Super Bowl champion New England Patriots and CBS Radio have agreed to a multi-year contract extension to keep Patriots games on Boston’s WBZ-FM, 98.5 “The Sports Hub.” The partnership began in 1994. Bob Socci and Scott Zolak will continue as play-by-play host and color analyst, respectively. Complementing each game, The Sports Hub broadcasts Patriots Preview three hours prior to each game, as well as a three-hour post-game show which breaks down the game, features press conferences and gives fans a chance to react. Both shows are hosted by Marc Bertrand, co-host of The Sports Hub’s midday show, Zolak and Bertrand.
“Our continued partnership with the New England Patriots underscores CBS Radio’s leadership in sports radio,” said Andre Fernandez, President and CEO, CBS Radio. “We have enjoyed an incredible relationship with this storied franchise for over 20 years and are proud to continue our partnership into the future.”
“Since our launch in 2009, the New England Patriots have been a key partner of 98.5 The Sports Hub. We are honored to continue broadcasting the five-time Super Bowl Champions to avid Patriots fans and Sports Hub listeners throughout New England,” said Mark Hannon, SVP/Market Manager, CBS Radio Boston.
