Jax Radio: NFL Jags Sign Deals For New Media Outlets


The Jacksonville Jaguars have reached agreements with new flagship radio and TV broadcast partners for carriage of their on-air programming in and around the Jacksonville area.

For the first time, Jaguars games and official team radio programming will be heard on Sports WJXL 1010AM/92.5 FM, the team’s flagship radio partner. In addition, the games will be simulcast on Renda Broadcasting's WGNE 99.9 FM Gator Country.

The TV programming, which includes preseason game broadcasts, will return after 11 years to WJXT-TV Channel 4, and in addition the preseason games will air in the Orlando market on Channel 4’s partner station, WKMG Local 6. WJXT was previously the Jaguars’ local television partner in 2001-02.

“We’re very proud to team with all of these partners – 1010XL, 99.9 Gator Country and WJXT Channel 4 and WKMG – and we look forward to expanding our radio and TV programming with them,” Jaguars President Mark Lamping said in making the announcement. “Given the size of the Jacksonville market, it is critical that we reach all current and potential Jaguars fans.  Our new partners will help us do that in Jacksonville as well as the surrounding region, including the important market of Orlando.

“1010XL brings a broad audience of loyal listeners and avid sports fans, 99.9 Gator Country gives us greater reach with our game day broadcasts to an important new demographic, and no TV station is more focused on Jacksonville and the local market than Channel 4,” Lamping added.
