Audacy and the Philadelphia Phillies ink a multi-year extension to their radio broadcast partnership. WIP-FM (SportsRadio 94WIP) will continue as the flagship station of the team, airing all regular and postseason games, as well as select Spring Training games. All games will be heard on WIP-FM and streamed via the Audacy app.

"As we gear up for another Red October, we're excited to announce our continued partnership with the Phillies," said Audacy Philadelphia Senior Vice President and Market Manager David Yadgaroff. "The Phillies are synonymous with this city's great sports culture, and we're proud to continue serving as the home for Phillies faithful - from every pitch throughout the season to yearlong updates and headlines surrounding their favorite team."

"SportsRadio 94WIP has been the Phillies' longtime radio partner, and our collective goal has always been to provide fans with the most entertaining, informative and engaging broadcast in the game," added Philadelphia Phillies Executive Vice President David Buck. "As excitement ramps up for our third consecutive postseason appearance, we also celebrate the continuation of Phillies baseball on our flagship station for years to come."

Scott Franzke, Larry Andersen and Kevin Stocker will once again be the voices for all Phillies play-by-play radio broadcasts. The station will continue to air a half-hour pregame show, "Leading Off," prior to each game and a half-hour postgame show, "The Final Out," immediately following each broadcast. Gregg Murphy will continue to serve as the host of both shows.

SportsRadio 94WIP will also continue to host regular broadcasts from the Deborah Heart and Lung Broadcast Booth inside Citizens Bank Park.
