As one of the top sports audio providers, Audacy rallies its Kansas City and San Francisco markets home to the big game teams, the Chiefs and the 49ers, as they face off this Sunday for the Lombardi Trophy. As the flagship station of the Chiefs, 106.5 The Wolf (WDAF-FM) is particularly fired up for this prominent moment in the NFL season and pop culture.
“The Chiefs are KC, and the pride for the team is everything not only for Audacy Kansas City but the entire market. Red is the color of the city,” said Roxanne Marati, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Audacy Kansas City. “Not only does the partnership mean something to our sports station, but we host the games on our country station, The Wolf, and each brand supports Chiefs content, such as post-game updates from CRN announcer Mitch Holthus to weekend programming on our Rock station, 98.9 the Rock.”
San Francisco is also anticipating this friendly head-to-head off the field. “In the world of sports, there’s nothing bigger than the NFL. Therefore, there’s simply nothing bigger than having your home team in the Big Game. It’s as huge of an opportunity as you could ask for, and we’ve completely owned it,” said Stacey Kauffman, Regional Vice President and Market Manager, Audacy San Francisco. “The Bay Area’s hunger for a championship winner has grown more and more ravenous with each year’s failure. It feels like we’re due, it’s our time. Our hosts, clients, and listeners are all locked in, supporting the Niners’ quest for their sixth title.”
Audacy has been on Radio Row all week, huddling San Francisco, Kansas City and New York stations to broadcast live coverage. Along with 95.7 The Game’s “Steiny and Guru” airing February 8 and 9 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. PT, 610 Sports Radio’s (KCSP-AM) “Cody and Gold” will air all week from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. PT and WFAN Sports Radio 101.9/66’s (WFAN-AMFM) will have their morning show, “Boomer & Gio,” with Boomer Esiason and Gregg “Gio” Giannotti onsite all week.
CBS Sports Radio also had its a morning show , “Maggie & Perloff,” plus midday show host Jim Rome, afternoon show host Zach Gelb, and overnight host Amy Lawrence present to cover the big game.
The San Francisco and Kansas City markets have game plans if they come out Sunday with a victory. A win from the Chiefs will shut down the city on Wednesday, February 14, with schools dismissed for a celebratory parade that Audacy stations will be on-site to cover. As for San Francisco, if the 49ers claim their first title in 30 years, there will be a slew of festivities. There will be station visits from legendary former players, including Jerry Rice joining “The Morning Roast with Bonta Hill & Joe Shasky,” and a parade with 95.7 The Game placards and signs lining the route, with similar championship coverage to the Warriors titles.
