This past season, Newsradio WBBM 780 AM / 105.9 FM broadcast Cubs games as part of a multi-year sports and entertainment agreement signed with CBS RADIO in 2014. WBBM is also home to the Chicago Bears since 2000.“We had an outstanding 2015 with the Cubs and couldn’t be prouder to be aligned with such a great partner,” said Rod Zimmerman, senior vice president and market manager of CBS RADIO Chicago.
“Today’s announcement provides a year round platform for the city’s beloved sports franchise on Chicago’s heritage all-sports radio station. With the Bears on WBBM and the Cubs among our portfolio, we can offer fans the best in sports play-by-play while still delivering the news and information most impactful to the local community.”
“We are excited to continue our partnership with CBS RADIO and join Chicago’s top sports station,” Cubs president of business operations Crane Kenney said. “With the broadcast team continuing to deliver great coverage, our first year with CBS was outstanding, and we look forward to many more to come on WSCR.”
