The National Hockey League's (NHL) Minnesota Wild and iHeartMedia Minneapolis ink a five-year partnership extension through the 2027-28 season to broadcast all preseason, regular season and Stanley Cup Playoff games on KFAN-FM. The Sports outlet is currently in its 13th season as the official radio flagship home of the Minnesota Wild.

"KFAN 100.3 and iHeartMedia have been fantastic partners for the last 12 seasons, providing the State of Hockey with engaging and extensive coverage of our team," said Minnesota Sports and Entertainment CEO Matt Majka. "We're thrilled Wild fans will continue to enjoy the tremendous programming KFAN 100.3 provides for another five years."

The extended partnership will also feature continued coverage of every Wild game, including a pre-game and postgame show on station's website, kfan.iheart.com and the iHeartRadio App. KFAN 100.3 will also continue to host "Wild Weekly" and "Wild Fanline" after select games. In addition, "Beyond the Pond" will air every Saturday at 10am, beginning December 30.

"The Wild organization is a great partner, and we are excited to be broadcasting their games for the next five years," said iHeartMedia Market President Greg Alexander. "With such a loyal fan base spanning the state, we see many opportunities to provide the dynamic and extensive coverage loyal fans want."

"We are thrilled to continue the amazing partnership with the Minnesota Wild," said iHeartSports President Kevin LeGrett. "With this extension we will continue to build upon the innovative coverage of the team, incorporate streaming and podcasting elements as well as collaborate on events that will enhance the Wild's brand throughout the country!"
