Milwaukee Sports station The Big 920 (WOKY) announced Thursday it has formed a broadcast partnership with the Milwaukee Admirals of the American Hockey League. Beginning with the 2018-19 AHL season, all 76 regular season games and Calder Cup playoff contests will air live on The Big 920, online at www.thebig920.com, or other local iHeartRadio stations in the Milwaukee market when appropriate. The Admirals play their home opener on Saturday, October 13 at 6 p.m. at Panther Arena, while the rest of the schedule will be released later this summer.
Admirals broadcasts will begin with a 30-minute pre-game show, featuring a preview of the night’s game and in-depth interviews with coaches and players, hosted by the voice of the Milwaukee Admirals, Aaron Sims. Additionally, Milwaukee Admirals Center Ice, a one-hour radio show dedicated to the Admirals and hockey in general, will air on Monday nights 6–7 p.m. on The Big 920.
“We couldn’t be more excited to welcome the Admirals to The Big 920 and the iHeartMedia Milwaukee family,” said Colleen Valkoun, Market President for iHeartMedia Milwaukee. “The Admirals provide major-league entertainment in a fun minor-league atmosphere. Their fans are loyal and passionate and we look forward to connecting with the team and its marketing partners on multiple stations and platforms.”
