Audacy and the Pittsburgh Pirates have agreed to a radio broadcast contract extension that will ensure KDKA-FM (93.7 The Fan) will continue as the MLB team's flagship station through the 2027 season. Audacy will also continue to carry the Pirates brand and game programming on sister KDKA News Radio which is simulcast on 100.1 FM and 1020 AM, including the airing of all Pirates weekday afternoon games.

"In Pittsburgh, there aren't many traditions more engrained in our community than the Pirates on The Fan and KDKA," said Audacy Pittsburgh Senior Vice President and Market Manager Michael Spacciapolli. "We are honored to continue to tell the story of this team for many many years to come as they chase another World Series title for our city."

"Our relationship with KDKA is like no other in sports," said Pittsburgh Pirates President Travis Williams. "Starting with the first baseball game to ever be broadcast, KDKA and the Pirates have been synonymous with each other. We are thrilled that the tradition will continue and be expanded upon across the cluster of Audacy Pittsburgh stations."
