Bonneville Seattle Media Group and Washington State University athletics announced a new multi-year partnership on Thursday.
The new partnership allows WSU Cougars sports to expand their reach in the Puget Sound region, as Seattle Sports 710 AM will once again serve as the Seattle flagship station for WSU football and men’s basketball broadcasts.
Seattle Sports also serves as the flagship radio station of the Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Mariners, connecting sports fans with their favorite teams across the Pacific Northwest.
WSU vice president and director of athletics Jon Haarlow joined Seattle Sports’ Bump and Stacy to announce the partnership.
“Seattle Sports gives us an incredible opportunity to connect with Cougs across Washington and throughout the Pacific Northwest,” Haarlow said. “As the region’s premier sports media brand, Seattle Sports provides a tremendous platform to share the stories of our programs, student-athletes and coaches. Reaching all Cougs wherever they are is critical to our outreach, and we’re excited about what this partnership means for the future of Washington State Athletics.”
WSU football and men’s basketball radio broadcasts, along with pregame and postgame coverage, will primarily air on Seattle Sports 710 AM. In the event of scheduling conflicts with Mariners or Seahawks broadcasts, WSU game coverage will shift to Seattle Red 770 AM. All games will air live on the Seattle Sports app.
The partnership also expands WSU football’s presence across Seattle Sports digital platforms.
Throughout the football season, WSU head coach Kirby Moore will join former Cougars standout wide receiver and current Seattle Sports host Michael Bumpus for a weekly video interview on Bump and Stacy. The segment will air each Tuesday at 12:30 p.m. and will also be available across Seattle Sports’ digital and social media channels, providing fans with weekly insight into the program.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Washington State University Athletics at such an exciting time, as the new Pac-12 takes shape and the Kirby Moore era begins,” Seattle Sports program director Kyle Brown said. “At Seattle Sports, our goal is to be more than just a radio station. This renewed and expanded partnership allows us to deliver even more coverage for Cougar fans through enhanced on-air programming, original video content, and the Seattle Sports app – connecting fans across Western Washington and around the world.”
Among other highlights of the expanded partnership, WSU women’s basketball game broadcasts will be available for streaming through the Seattle Sports app for the first time. Also, one WSU baseball game broadcast each season will air on Seattle Sports 710 AM.
Fans will also benefit from expanded streaming access across multiple platforms. WSU football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball games will be available on both the Seattle Sports app and the WSU Cougars Gameday app. Coaches shows and all WSU baseball broadcasts will continue to stream exclusively on the WSU Cougars Gameday app.
The Cougar Sports Network is the official radio and digital broadcasting network for WSU athletics, managed by Playfly Sports. For a list of all the network’s affiliate stations, click here.
