D/FW Radio: KTCK, NHL Stars Renew Long-Time Deal

Dallas Stars President and Chief Executive Officer Brad Alberts, in conjunction with the Vice President and Market Manager of Cumulus Media, Dallas/Fort Worth Dan Bennett, announced today a five-year radio broadcast rights extension between the Dallas Stars and Sportsradio KTCK 96.7 FM / 1310 AM The Ticket. The extended agreement will run through the 2028-29 NHL season.

Since 2009, The Ticket has served as the radio home for Dallas Stars hockey, broadcasting all regular season and postseason contests. Additionally, the station also broadcasts pregame, intermission and postgame programming, providing Metroplex sports fans with the most complete Stars coverage on the radio.

“Entering the final year of our current five-year agreement, it was imperative for us to continue our partnership with The Ticket,” said Alberts. “For the past 14 years, The Ticket has provided listeners in the Metroplex with a unique platform to follow their favorite hockey team with exclusive interviews with Dallas Stars coaches, players and personalities in addition to wall-to-wall coverage on game days. We’re thrilled to continue this longstanding partnership with our flagship station.”

The Stars broadcasts on The Ticket feature the duo of play-by-play announcer Josh Bogorad and color analyst Daryl “Razor” Reaugh. Bogorad is in his 11th season with the Stars broadcast team and his sixth as the team’s play-by-play broadcaster. Since becoming the Stars’ play-by-play broadcaster, Bogorad was voted the 2020 Texas Sportscaster of the Year by the National Sports Media Association and won the 2022 Lone Star Sports EMMY in the Play-by-Play category. Reaugh is in his 27th season on Stars radio broadcasts and his 25th as the team’s color analyst. Named by the Sports Business Journal as one of the 2017 Regional Sports Networks Power Players, Reaugh has won 12 Lone Star Emmy awards as a color analyst.

Bruce LeVine and Owen Newkirk will continue to co-host Dallas’ pregame, intermission and postgame radio shows.

“The Ticket’s partnership with the Dallas Stars goes back to 2009, and we are extremely excited that this partnership will extend to 2029 making it a 20-year run with one of the NHL’s premier franchises,” said Bennett.
