PHILADELPHIA — Fans of the Penn State University Nittany Lions men’s basketball and football teams will be able to continue tuning in to the team’s audio coverage on a heritage AM radio station serving the Delaware Valley from Audacy Inc.’s global headquarters.
A new contract ensures that WPHT-AM 1210 (in the past WCAU-AM) remains the flagship station in the City of Brotherly Love for play-by-play coverage from the gridiron and from the basketball court.
“Penn State has been a longtime valued partner of Audacy Philadelphia and Talk Radio 1210 WPHT, and we are delighted to continue this long-standing relationship,” Audacy/Philadelphia SVP/Market Manager David Yadgaroff said. “Philadelphia is home to many Penn State sports fans, and we are proud that Talk Radio 1210 WPHT will provide tremendous reach for fans and alums over the air, on their smart speakers, or the free Audacy app.”
Playfly Penn State Sports Enterprises Vice President of Corporate Partnerships Daniel Solomon added, “Penn State and Playfly are thrilled to continue our long-term relationship with Audacy Philadelphia. Broadcasting our football and men’s basketball games in a city with a large amount of fans and alumni such as Philadelphia is very important to our statewide footprint, and we look forward to another successful athletic year with our partners in Philadelphia.”
