KIRO 710 AM ESPN Seattle will remain the flagship radio station of the Mariners.

Bonneville Seattle Media Group and the Mariners have agreed to a multi-year contract extension that will keep the team's games as well as other weekly programming on 710 ESPN Seattle.

"We are excited to continue our proud partnership with the Mariners," 710 ESPN Seattle program director Mike Salk said. "Baseball and radio have always gone hand in hand. We couldn't be happier to continue broadcasting Mariners games and partnering with this organization."

In addition to Mariners games, 710 ESPN Seattle airs "The "Hot Stove League" during the offseason, "The Cactus League Report" during spring training, and a weekly magazine program during the regular season.

"Bonneville has been our radio home for 25 of our first 39 years," said Mariners president and COO Kevin Mather, "and we are happy to continue our long and successful partnership with 710 ESPN Seattle and the Bonneville stations."

Added Carl Gardner, vice president and general manager of Bonneville Seattle Media Group: "Bonneville's mission is to connect our community by providing original, local content that Northwest people care about deeply. Nothing fits that description better than Mariners baseball, so we are delighted to continue our long, storied partnership with the Mariners."
