Summary: Kansas
City's sports talk stations--KCSP-610 and WHB 810--can now start reporting
honestly about the Kansas City Chiefs now that both stations have lost out for
the team's broadcasting rights to KCFX.
Kansas City Star
(8/25)
Radio extension
101The Fox (KCFX-FM)
has extended its radio broadcast rights for the Chiefs through the 2009 season.
The completion of the current extension will culminate 20 years as the flagship
station of the Chiefs. The relationship represents the longest-standing
relationship in the NFL with an FM station.
Peterson said Entercom (610 AM) and Union Broadcasting (810)
also bid for the contract. KCFX had the right of first refusal and matched all
offers.
