Seattle Sports Renews WSU Broadcast Partnership

Washington State University Athletics has entered into a new multi-year partnership with Bonneville Seattle Media Group, restoring 710 KIRO-AM (Seattle Sports) as the Seattle flagship station for Cougar Football and Men's Basketball broadcasts.

The agreement expands Washington State's reach throughout the Puget Sound region, with football and men's basketball games, along with pre-game and post-game coverage, airing primarily on 710 KIRO-AM (Seattle Sports). When broadcasts conflict with Seattle Seahawks or Seattle Mariners games, coverage will shift to 770 KTTH-AM. All games will also stream live on the Seattle Sports app.

The Cougar Sports Network, managed by Playfly Sports, remains the official radio and digital broadcasting network for Washington State Athletics.

"Seattle Sports gives us an incredible opportunity to connect with Cougs across Washington and throughout the Pacific Northwest," said WSU Vice President and Director of Athletics Jon Haarlow. "As the region's premier sports media brand, Seattle Sports provides a tremendous platform to share the stories of our programs, student-athletes and coaches."

The partnership also expands the university's digital presence. During football season, Head Coach Kirby Moore will appear weekly with former Washington State standout and Seattle Sports host Michael Bumpus on the station's Bump & Stacy program. The Tuesday feature will also be distributed across Seattle Sports' digital and social media platforms.

"We're thrilled to partner with Washington State University Athletics at such an exciting time, as the new Pac-12 takes shape and the Kirby Moore era begins," said Seattle Sports Program Director Kyle Brown. "This renewed and expanded partnership allows us to deliver even more coverage for Cougar fans through enhanced on-air programming, original video content, and the Seattle Sports app."

For the first time, Washington State Women's Basketball broadcasts will be available for streaming on the Seattle Sports app. In addition, one Washington State Baseball game each season will air on Seattle Sports.

Football, men's basketball and women's basketball games will be streamed through both the Seattle Sports app and the WSU Cougars Gameday app, while coaches shows and all baseball broadcasts will continue to stream exclusively on the WSU Cougars Gameday app.
