Wausau Ready To Play The Game
• Duke Wright‘s Midwest Communications has forged an agreement with iHeartMedia to bring the Game Sports Network to Sports-Talk WRIG-1390AM/93.9-FM (W230BU)/Wausau, WI — 93.9 The Game debuts next Monday, Nov. 2. The Game Sports Network originates on iHeartMedia’s WRNW (97.3 The Game)/Milwaukee, and WRIG now becomes the third Midwest Communications station to annex the 12-hour daily network, along with WNFL-AM & FM/Green Bay, WI and WDUL-AM/Duluth, MN.
“WRIG listeners are very passionate about their Wisconsin sports,” exclaimed Ken Clark, Brand Manager of WRIG. “We’re excited for the opportunity to connect them to news and talk about the Packers, Badgers, Brewers and Bucks all day long. Our hosts are familiar names and we’re excited about this opportunity!” Colleen Valkoun, Market President of iHeartMedia Milwaukee, said, “We are thrilled that 97.3 The Game daily programming is expanding into Wausau. Central Wisconsin sports fans — get ready for ‘Sports Talk That Rocks!'”
