Westwood one will air the radio edition of the Super Bowl from Minnesota.

Westwood One will present coverage of Super Bowl LII, live from U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on Sunday, February 4. The network will feature a full schedule of game day programming leading up to kickoff, when the defending champion New England Patriots take on the Philadelphia Eagles for the title. This is the 31st consecutive year and the 45th time overall WO will broadcast the Super Bowl. Beginning at 5pm ET 2017 National Sportscaster of the Year Kevin Harlan and Boomer Esiason will bring listeners live game coverage. Mike Holmgren will also contribute throughout the game broadcast.
Former All-Pro Offensive Lineman Tony Boselli returns for second straight year as sideline reporter, and this year will be joined on the field by Hall of Fame reporter Ed Werder. Jim Gray will anchor the pregame and halftime coverage, with appearances by Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald and New England quarterback Tom Brady. Scott Graham and Super Bowl XXXIV MVP and Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner will also contribute to the pregame show coverage.

Westwood One's game day coverage begins at 2:00 pm ET, with "Super Bowl Preview," co-hosted by Scott Graham, Boomer Esiason and Mike Holmgren, followed by "Super Bowl Insider," co-hosted by Jason Horowitz and Tony Boselli at 3pm ET. At 4pm ET, live coverage from the stadium kicks off with "Super Sunday," the Super Bowl LII pregame show hosted by Scott Graham. The Super Bowl game broadcast begins at 5pm ET, with kickoff anticipated to be approximately 6:35pm ET.

I wonder how their ratings were, being that the Superbowl's TV viewership was down around 7% from last year.

I know I listened to Westwood One's coverage, as I don't have cable and the channel broadcasting the Superbowl this year isn't receivable in my location.
 
I'm not sure it's tracked as it would require the compilation of ratings from the hundreds of stations that carried the game. If I see anything regarding the ratings, I'll share it here.
