Audacy has announced a multi-year extension of its broadcast partnership with Wichita State Athletics, continuing a relationship that has spanned more than five decades. Under the new two-year agreement, 103.7 KEYN will remain the flagship station for all Wichita State men's basketball games and select women's basketball contests, including postseason play. Baseball coverage, including postseason games, will continue to air exclusively on KFH Radio (97.5/1240).

The renewed partnership also includes the production and distribution of weekly coaches' podcasts covering multiple sports throughout their respective seasons.

"We are proud to continue our 50-plus-year tradition as the radio home of Shocker sports," said Tommy Castor, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Audacy Wichita. "Our partnership with Wichita State Athletics reflects a deep commitment to the community and to connecting with generations of fans. We're excited to provide Shocker fans the best play-by-play coverage and exclusive updates that bring every game to life."

Madison Stein-Mason, Deputy AD for External Affairs & Revenue Generation at Wichita State Athletics, added, "This partnership expands how Shocker fans connect with our programs. By bringing game broadcasts and coaches' conversations to more platforms, we're creating new ways for our community to experience Shocker Athletics all year long."

The agreement ensures that the "Voice of the Shockers," Mike Kennedy, will continue his 48th season calling Shocker basketball and baseball. The deal was facilitated by Shocker Sports Properties, a division of Playfly Sports, which represents Wichita State Athletics' multimedia rights.
