The Tampa Bay Rowdies have entered into a new partnership with Beasley Media Group that will make WJBR (Florida Alumni Radio 1100AM) the radio home for all club matches during the 2026 season.

Under the agreement, all Rowdies home and away matches from the USL Championship regular season and the Prinx Tires USL Cup will air on the station, expanding its lineup of Florida-focused sports programming. The broadcasts will also be carried on 92.1 FM and 103.1 FM in South Florida.

Florida Alumni Radio, launched by Beasley Media Group in August 2025, is a sports-formatted outlet targeting Florida sports fans with an emphasis on alumni connections and community engagement. The station already airs football and basketball games for the University of South Florida and Florida State University.

The addition of the Rowdies completes a milestone for the club, marking the first time all matches will be available on both local television and radio. Tampa Bay 44 has served as the team's exclusive local television partner since 2024.

Radio broadcasts of Rowdies home matches will feature the same on-air team as the television coverage, including play-by-play announcer Drew Fellios, color analyst and former Rowdies goalkeeper Jeff Attinella, and sideline reporter Diandra Loux.

Attinella also hosts the Tampa Bay Rowdies Podcast, recorded weekly at Beasley Media Group's St. Petersburg studios. The show includes interviews and analysis featuring players and coaches and is distributed across multiple digital platforms.
