Cumulus Media's KCMO Talk Radio 95.7 FM and 710 AM has been named the new Kansas City-area radio home for Mizzou Athletics under a new agreement with Mizzou Athletics and Learfield's Central Bank Tiger Network.

Beginning this fall, KCMO Talk Radio will serve as the exclusive broadcast radio outlet in Kansas City for Missouri Tigers football, men's basketball and women's basketball. The broadcasts will also be carried on Cumulus Media's newly launched simulcast affiliate, KTOP-FM 102.9 in Topeka, extending coverage across northeastern Kansas and western Missouri.

The partnership includes live game coverage, Tiger Talk coaches shows and additional programming designed to keep fans connected throughout the year. Mizzou Athletics content will also be available through the KCMO Talk Radio mobile app, online streaming platforms, station websites and podcast distribution channels.

"KCMO Talk Radio is proud to be the new home of the Missouri Tigers in Kansas City and Topeka," said Pete Mundo, Program Director of KCMO Talk Radio. "With Mizzou competing in the SEC, the premier conference in college sports, we're excited to bring that energy to our listeners. From live game broadcasts and coaches' shows to exclusive interviews and regular conversation, we're committed to making Tigers athletics a core part of KCMO Talk Radio and building a true home for Mizzou fans across Kansas City and Topeka."

Mizzou Director of Athletics Laird Veatch said the agreement strengthens the university's connection with fans throughout the region. "This partnership with Cumulus Media and KCMO Talk Radio ensures our fans across the region will have a strong, consistent connection to Mizzou Football and Mizzou Men's and Women's Basketball all year long," Veatch said.

Josh Pell, General Manager of Mizzou Sports Properties, welcomed the new relationship and said the expanded coverage will benefit Tiger fans throughout the market.

The partnership is managed by Mizzou Sports Properties, the locally based Learfield team that serves as the university's exclusive multimedia rights holder.
