https://radioinsight.com/wp-content/images/2024/04/wral-fm-200x200.jpgCapitol Broadcasting Company has announced it has agreed to an expanded partnership with the NFL’s Carolina Panthers through the 2027 season.
The deal will see the Panthers game broadcasts in the Raleigh/Durham market move from Capitol’s “99.9 The Fan (https://www.wralsportsfan.com/sportsradio/)” WCMC-FM to the combination of AC “Mix 101.5 (http://mix1015.com)” WRAL-FM and “Buzz Sports Radio (https://www.wralsportsfan.com/rs/page/11071232/)” 620 WDNC/1550 WCLY/WCMC-HD2. “Panther Talk” featuring Head Coach Dave Canales will continue on WCMC-FM on Monday nights.
Capitol VP/GM Brian Grube states, “Mix 101.5 is focused on our local community. That commitment is evident from our local partnerships and fundraisers to our talented team of local on-air hosts. We know from the engagement we see with all our stations that local sports are extremely important to our passionate audiences. We are excited to make Carolina Panthers games available to Triangle fans on CBC?s strongest radio station.”
Panthers Affiliate Manager Eric Fiddleman adds, “We are extremely pleased to augment an exceptional multi-media broadcasting partnership between the Panthers and Capitol Broadcasting. The addition of one of the largest radio signals in North Carolina in MIX 101.5, coupled with the simulcast on The Buzz and a continued presence on 99.9 The Fan, will provide ample listening opportunities for fans of the Panthers/NFL in the Triangle and well beyond. CBC?s radio and television stations are much appreciated partners. These affiliations are a crucial element of our efforts to best serve the fan base.”
The move also allows to eliminate overlap with Carolina Hurricanes hockey broadcasts, which will continue to air on WCMC-FM.
