UC San Diego has reached a multi-year agreement with Audacy sports outlet KWFN-FM to broadcast Tritons men's and women's basketball games for the remainder of the 2025-26 season and beyond. Under the deal, UC San Diego basketball will air on 97.3 The Fan, with all broadcasts also streaming on the Audacy app. Play-by-play veterans Steve Quis and Ted Mendenhall will call the games, with recent UC San Diego graduate Madison Baxter providing analysis on the women's broadcasts.
The 2025-26 slate includes coverage of all remaining Big West men's road games and select UC San Diego women's regular-season contests. The station will also carry Tritons postseason action, including both teams' title defenses at The Big West Championship in Henderson, Nev., in March.
UC San Diego Athletics Director Andy Fee said the partnership expands the program's reach across the region and showcases a brand of basketball "the entire San Diego community can get behind." Adam Klug, Brand Manager for 97.3 The Fan, called the agreement the station's first as the exclusive broadcast home for Tritons basketball and highlighted the program's rapid rise since transitioning to Division I.
The inaugural broadcast under the agreement airs Thursday as the UC San Diego men visit Cal Poly. Pregame coverage begins at 6:52pm PT, with tipoff shortly after 7pm from San Luis Obispo.
