KC Radio: MLB Royals, KCSP Extend Radio Deal

The Kansas City Royals and Enertcom's KCSP 610 AM Sports Radio have announced a new four-year agreement to broadcast the Royals on radio through the 2019 season.

Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

610 Sports Radio has been the broadcast home of the Kansas City Royals in the Kansas City area since the 2008 season.

“We not only take a lot of pride in what occurs on the playing field, but also who partners with us off the field and at the end of the day our organization has been very pleased with the Entercom partnership, specifically 610 Sports Radio, over the last eight seasons. It was only natural for us to maintain that relationship,” said Kevin Uhlich, Royals’ Senior Vice President of Business Operations.

“Not only is the signal of 610 Sports Radio recognizable to all sports fans in the area, the overall Entercom cluster of stations makes them an attractive partner to spread the word about Royals’ baseball, not only to sports fans, but radio listeners of all genres.”

“We are delighted to extend this partnership,” said Dave Alpert, Vice President and General Manager of Entercom Kansas City. “Not only are the Royals the World Champions, as partners they are a world class organization. We are proud to align KCSP 610 Sports Radio with the Kansas City Royals for four more years. Two winning teams.”

In addition, a minimum of 20 Spring Training games from the Cactus League will also be broadcast each season as well as the weekly “Royals Hot Stove” show from January through March.
