Audacy announces a multi-year extension of its broadcast partnership with the University of Oregon. Under the renewed multiplatform agreement, 1080 The Fan (KFXX-AM) will continue as the flagship radio station for Oregon Ducks football, men’s basketball and baseball. For the first time, the station will also serve as the home of women’s basketball. All games will also stream on the Audacy app within the Portland area.
“We are delighted to extend our partnership with the Oregon Ducks for another five years. Oregon is one of the most powerful and recognizable brands in college athletics, and The Fan is Portland’s go-to source for premier sports content—making this partnership a perfect fit,” said Ryan Cooley, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Audacy Portland.
“This new agreement deepens our commitment to delivering in-depth, high-quality coverage of Ducks football, men’s basketball and baseball. For the first time ever, we’re proud to carry every Oregon women’s basketball game. It’s an exciting new chapter, and we look forward to bringing the passion, energy and excellence of Oregon athletics to fans throughout the region.”
“We are thrilled to extend our partnership with Audacy. Through this important radio affiliate partnership, we are able to provide Duck fans in Portland a non-stop connection to their teams,” said Kelly Schukart, Vice President and General Manager, Oregon Sports Properties. “Whether from the sidelines, courtside or the diamond, Duck fans in Portland can count on Audacy to have their favorite Duck content on the air.”
As part of the partnership, 1080 The Fan will air all regular and postseason games. In addition to game broadcasts, 1080 The Fan will continue to air “Ducks Insider,” weekdays year-round, giving fans a behind-the-scenes look into the University of Oregon’s sports. Head football coach Dan Lanning will also join the “Ducks Football Coaches Show” during football season.
The partnership between Audacy and the University of Oregon was facilitated through LEARFIELD, the radio broadcast rights holder of Oregon Sports Properties.
