Westwood One To Present Super Bowl LII Game Day Coverage

Westwood One, the largest radio network in the U.S. and the exclusive network radio partner for the National Football League, will present comprehensive coverage of Super Bowl LII, live from U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Sunday, February 4, 2018.

The network will feature a full schedule of game day programming leading up to kickoff, when the defending champion New England Patriots take on the Philadelphia Eagles for the title.
