Bengals, Clear Channel extend radio deal
The Bengals announced Tuesday that they've reached an agreement with Clear Channel Media Cincinnati to extend the agreement to broadcast the team’s games on radio through the 2013 NFL season.
The broadcasts will continue to be heard through three flagship stations: 700WLW, 102.7 WEBN and ESPN 1530. WLW will begin broadcasting the games following the completion of the Reds' baseball season.
As previously announced, the new partnership will bring the Bengals radio rights ‘in-house’, with the team now coordinating the sales and operations of the broadcasts. The Browns did the same with their radio broadcast rights last year.
Dan Hoard will enter his first season as the Bengals radio play-by-play announcer and Dave Lapham will enter his 26th consecutive season as analyst on the broadcasts.
