“We are pleased to have Entercom Houston as our radio partner for at least another decade,” said Jamey Rootes, President, Houston Texans. “Working together, we have created a novel broadcasting approach that allows us to deliver unique, engaging and entertaining Texans content which has been branded ‘Texans Radio.’ The centerpiece of this is our games, but Texans Radio’s extensive platform each week brings the fun and excitement of game day to Texans fans across the world every other day of the year.”

In addition to game broadcasts, SportsRadio 610 will continue to air a three-hour pregame and postgame show, plus “Texans All Access,” which will continue to air weekdays from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. CT during the regular season and 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. CT during the offseason.

All game broadcasts will also be heard on 100.3 The Bull, Mega 101 FM and via the station’s livestream on Radio.com within 100 miles of Houston. Promotional partnerships will extend across Entercom stations in Houston, with on-air features and programming airing on sister stations 95.7 The Spot KKHH-FM, KHMX-FM and CBS Sports Radio KIKK-AM.
