iHeartMedia Miami inks a new multi-year deal to become the Miami Dolphins flagship radio broadcast partner. The Dolphins are returning to iHM after a partnership from 2010-2015. Beginning in the 2023 season, live gameday broadcasts will air on WBGG (Big 105.9) and WINZ (Fox Sports 940) with plans to expand affiliate stations in Florida, Hawaii and Puerto Rico to make Dolphins games accessible to fans in new markets.

WBGG and WINZ will carry all Miami Dolphins football game broadcasts and play-by-play coverage as well as a pregame show, postgame show and weekly radio show featuring interviews with Dolphins' personnel and guests from around the league. The Dolphins game broadcasts will feature familiar voices, with former Dolphins wide receiver Jimmy Cefalo handling play-by-play duties, former Dolphins tight end Joe Rose providing color commentary and former Dolphins linebacker Kim Bokamper giving analysis and updates from the sidelines.

iHeartMedia will produce Dolphins-centric coverage around tentpole events such as free agency, the NFL Draft and training camp. Additional Dolphins programming and talent will be announced at a later date.

"We are excited about this partnership and honored to be the new broadcast home of the Miami Dolphins," said iHeartMedia Sports President Kevin LeGrett. "The Miami Dolphins are the city's premiere sports team and with the massive multiplatform reach and scale that iHeartMedia can provide, we have the ability to deliver great programming and coverage to millions of fans across the state and beyond."

"iHeartMedia Miami is thrilled to welcome the Miami Dolphins back home," added iHeartMedia Miami-Fort Lauderdale Market President Shari Gonzalez. "It's an honor to again partner with the Dolphins for years to come and to help expand the opportunities to touch the team's local and worldwide fan base."
