WAXQ (Q104.3) and New York Jets

The New York Jets and iHeartMedia New York have agreed to a multi-year radio and streaming partnership that establishes Classic Rock WAXQ (Q104.3)/New York as the official broadcast radio home of the New York Jets, connecting the company's listeners across multiple platforms to New York Jets partnerships, events and personnel.

In addition to broadcasting Jets pre-game, in-game and post-game on Q104.3, listeners can also hear all the action on both the iHeartRadio and New York Jets apps (local market only). The multiplatform partnership will utilize iHeartMedia's array of New York City broadcast radio, streaming and digital platforms to promote the New York Jets brand and allows talent from both companies to appear as guests on shows.

"We are very excited about our new partnership with iHeartMedia, one of the largest media companies in the country," said New York Jets President Hymie Elhai. "We look forward to welcoming the iconic Q104.3 as our new flagship home for gamedays while simultaneously unlocking the unique power and exposure iHeartMedia's platforms can provide."

"We are thrilled to partner with the New York Jets and their incredibly loyal and passionate fans," added iHeartSports President Kevin LeGrett. "The collaboration between our two organizations has already begun and we are excited to partner with them to bring their games, players and programming to our millions of listeners across iHeart's broadcast, podcast and digital platforms."

"Being a lifelong New York Jets fan, I couldn't be more thrilled to welcome the New York Jets programming to our station," said Q104.3 Program Director Eric Wellman. "We're honored to be the home of such an iconic team, and we're committed to delivering top-notch coverage to Jets fans across the Tri-State area. This partnership represents an exciting chapter for both the station and the community, and we look forward to bringing the passion and excitement of Jets football to our listeners week after week."
