Audacy inks a multi-year extension of its broadcast partnership with the University of Oregon, solidifying KFXX-AM (1080 The Fan) as the flagship station for Ducks athletics. The new agreement extends coverage of Oregon football, men's basketball and baseball, and for the first time, includes women's basketball. Under the renewed multiplatform agreement, all games will be available on 1080 The Fan and streamed locally on the Audacy app.

"We are delighted to extend our partnership with the Oregon Ducks for another five years," said Ryan Cooley, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Audacy Portland. "Oregon is one of the most powerful and recognizable brands in college athletics, and The Fan is Portland's go-to source for premier sports content-making this partnership a perfect fit."

Cooley emphasized the importance of expanding the station's coverage to include women's basketball. "This new agreement deepens our commitment to delivering in-depth, high-quality coverage of Ducks football, men's basketball and baseball. For the first time ever, we're proud to carry every Oregon women's basketball game. It's an exciting new chapter, and we look forward to bringing the passion, energy and excellence of Oregon athletics to fans throughout the region."

Kelly Schukart, Vice President and General Manager of Oregon Sports Properties, echoed that enthusiasm. "We are thrilled to extend our partnership with Audacy. Through this important radio affiliate partnership, we are able to provide Duck fans in Portland a non-stop connection to their teams," she said. "Whether from the sidelines, courtside or the diamond, Duck fans in Portland can count on Audacy to have their favorite Duck content on the air."

The agreement includes coverage of all regular and postseason games, as well as continued year-round programming such as Ducks Insider, which offers behind-the-scenes content. Head football coach Dan Lanning is also set to return to The Ducks Football Coaches Show during football season.

The extended partnership was facilitated through LEARFIELD, the radio broadcast rights holder for Oregon Sports Properties.
