Audacy and the San Diego Padres extend their broadcast partnership agreement, keeping KWFN-FM (97.3 The Fan) in San Diego as the flagship station for Padres baseball through 2027. The station has served as the radio home of the team since 2018. Under the deal, 97.3 The Fan will continue to air all of the team's regular season and postseason games.
The Padres Radio Network broadcast team consists of play-by-play announcer Jesse Agler, color analyst Tony Gwynn Jr. and Sam Levitt, who joined the station's coverage this season as pregame and postgame host.
"As one of the most exciting teams in Major League Baseball, the Padres have brought championship aspirations back to San Diego, and we're delighted to deliver every minute of the action to our listeners for the foreseeable future," said Audacy San Diego Senior Vice President and Market Manager Michael Valenzuela. "As San Diego's No. 1 sports talk station, we're fortunate to provide Padres fans with a consistent, reliable home for their favorite team and look forward to continuing our partnership with the club."
"We're very happy to continue our radio partnership with Audacy and 97.3 The Fan," added San Diego Padres Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Chris Connolly. "They have built a loyal audience with their local programming over the last five years and have become a trusted source for our Padres fans all across the San Diego area. We look forward to continued growth with the No. 1 sports talk station in town for many years to come."
