The Carolina Panthers and Capitol Broadcasting Company (CBC) have expanded their partnership to air live Panthers games in the Triangle region on WRAL-FM (Mix 101.5) in Raleigh, beginning this fall. This contract extension through 2027 will make play-by-play broadcasts for all pre-season, regular season and post-season games, as well as the weekly Panther Talk and daily Panthers Update programs, available to listeners.

"We are extremely pleased to augment an exceptional multi-media broadcasting partnership between the Panthers and Capitol Broadcasting," said Carolina Panthers Affiliate Manager Eric Fiddleman. "The addition of one of the largest radio signals in North Carolina in Mix 101.5, coupled with the simulcast on The Buzz and a continued presence on 99.9 The Fan, will provide ample listening opportunities for fans of the Panthers/NFL in the Triangle and well beyond. CBC's radio and television stations are much appreciated partners."

"Mix 101.5 is focused on our local community," said CBC Radio VP/GM Brian Grube. "That commitment is evident from our local partnerships and fundraisers to our talented team of local on-air hosts. We know from the engagement we see with all our stations that local sports are extremely important to our passionate audiences. We are excited to make Carolina Panthers games available to Triangle fans on CBC's strongest radio station."

Play-by-play for Panthers games will be carried on Mix 101.5 and simulcast on Buzz Sports Radio (620 AM, 104.5 FM, 99.9 HD2). CBC will continue its local, dedicated coverage and analysis of the Carolina Panthers on WCMC-FM (99.9 The Fan) and Buzz Sports Radio along with audio streaming and podcasts.
