iHeartMedia/Orlando and UCF Athletics have extended their partnership to keep WYGM (96.9/AM 740 The Game) as the flagship station for Knights' radio broadcasts. The new three-year deal begins with the 2019-20 school year and runs through 2021-22. Next year will mark the 25th consecutive year of Knights' athletics on The Game. Under the new agreeement, UCF Football and UCF Men's Basketball will take precedence over any other live event on the two outlets.

"We are thrilled about this extension of our partnership between iHeartMedia and UCF Athletics," said iHeartMedia Division President Linda Byrd. "This is an exciting time to be a UCF fan and an exciting time for FM 96.9 The Game. Continuing to provide our listeners with coverage of UCF football, men's basketball and baseball truly solidifies our radio station's position as Orlando's Sports Leader. We are also very happy that our UCF coverage is also available for listening on our iHeart Radio app, so Knight Nation can take our coverage wherever they go."

Deal starts in the 2019-2020 season
 
Just curious. Wonder what they do with Magic broadcasts when UCF is on? One time they threw them to 810. That was interesting. haaha But they actually left the full game on 810 so that was good. I don't know how many people are that invested to follow a team around a radio like I am. LOL

That's a good question. Probably 540 WFLF would be the overflow station.
 
Heard a promo on Real Radio 104.1 for a special broadcast of FL vs. FSU basketball ... I could see the magic showing up on FM when that occurs - interrupting any of their evening shows is no impact.
 
Yes. That game was on 104.1. Also I heard something about 810 am again last night on 740 for some game in the future.
 
Yep - this weekend 104.1 is carrying Sat and Sun's Magic games .... Saturday makes sense, it competes against the UCF football game ... Not sure about Sunday, must be a UCF B'ball game in the evening?
