Audacy and the Kansas City Royals have announced a multi-year extension to their multiplatform partnership. 96.5 The Fan (KFNZ-FM), Kansas City’s first full-time FM Sports station, will serve as the team's flagship station, airing all Spring Training, regular and postseason games.
Games will also be streamed via the Audacy app within the Royals broadcast territory.
“We’re thrilled to extend our longstanding partnership with the Royals and, for the first time ever, bring every pitch, hit, and home run to fans on crystal-clear FM,” said Roxanne Marati, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Audacy Kansas City.
“As the premier home for everything Kansas City sports, we’re proud to be the go-to destination for Royals fans and keep them connected to their favorite team throughout the year.”
“Moving to FM is a positive for everyone, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with Audacy to serve the needs of our passionate and knowledgeable fans.”
Royals Hall of Famer Denny Matthews returns for a remarkable 57th season, one of just four announcers in MLB history to broadcast the same team for more than 50 years.
He’ll be joined again by Ryan Lefebvre, Jake Eisenberg and Steve Stewart, with Eric Guthrie as the Producer/Engineer. 96.5 The Fan will feature pregame and postgame shows hosted by the station’s Royals insider, Josh Vernier.
Throughout the season, 96.5 The Fan will also air weekly interviews with Royals manager Matt Quatraro every Wednesday at 9:00 a.m. CT and bi-monthly interviews with Executive Vice President and General Manager J.J. Picollo. Vernier will join the station’s weekday programming throughout the season to discuss the latest news surrounding the team.
96.5 The Fan also serves as the play-by-play home of the Kansas City Chiefs and Kansas State University.
📻Listeners can tune in to 96.5 The Fan (KFNZ-FM) in Kansas City on air and nationwide on the Audacy app and website. Fans can also connect with the station via X, Facebook and Instagram.
