More Entercom news, this time focusing on Minnesota. The company has announced a fully integrated radio partnership with MLB’s Minnesota Twins. This represents the team’s return to its original broadcast partner, WCCO-AM 830, which aired games for the club’s first 46 seasons through 2006. The station will broadcast all Twins regular and postseason games as well as cover its metropolitan area Spring Training, beginning with the 2018 season. Entercom Minnesota stations 104.1 Jack-FM and BUZ’N @102.9 will also cover Twins’ players, coaches, and broadcasters year-round.
“We are thrilled to welcome the Twins back to their iconic home on WCCO,” said Mike Dee, Entercom’s President of Sports. “Clearly the Twins are a blue chip franchise on the rise. As a newcomer to the Minneapolis-Saint Paul market, we are especially grateful to the Pohlad family and Dave St. Peter for their confidence in us. With the addition of the Twins, we are proud to be the flagship home for 45 professional teams across the four major sports, including 14 in Major League Baseball.”
