Seattle Reign FC and Seattle Sounders FC are proud to announce an expanded and dynamic multi-year partnership with iHeartMedia Seattle, deepening their longstanding collaboration to provide premier audio coverage for soccer fans across the Pacific Northwest. The new agreement marks a significant leap forward in Seattle soccer storytelling, delivering unmatched radio and digital streaming audio experiences for both clubs through iHeartMedia Seattle’s market-leading platforms.
For Sounders FC, all MLS matches – including the MLS Cup Playoffs – are set for air on Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM, 950 KJR AM or on the iHeartRadio app. Each broadcast includes full pre and post-match shows, alongside live play-by-play throughout the MLS season.
For Reign FC, the new partnership with iHeartMedia Seattle provides the club a terrestrial radio and streaming audio platform for the first time in team history. This season, six matches will air on 950 KJR AM or via the iHeartRadio app, including a pre-match show and full in-match coverage. In subsequent seasons, 10 NWSL matches will be carried across iHeartMedia Seattle’s platforms.
For fans of both clubs, leading Sports Radio KJR talent like Dave “Softy” Mahler, Dick Fain and Jackson Felts are set to be onsite at Lumen Field for select matches of both clubs, conducting live remotes, interacting with fans and appearing on the teams’ pre-match shows, bringing fan-favorite voices directly to the Seattle soccer community.
For Sounders FC broadcasts, former Sounder Danny Jackson is back in his lead play-by-play role for the third-consecutive year as part of Sports Radio’s KJR’s flagship matchday coverage. Working alongside Jackson in the booth as analysts are former Sounders FC winger Steve Zakuani and club captain Brad Evans, both notable previous players with experience across the club’s radio and television products.
Fan-favorite and Emmy-award winner Michelle Ludtka, having spent years in-market as a reporter and anchor for FOX 13 and serving on Sounders FC broadcasts, also returns this season to work as an analyst for home radio calls.

AT A GLANCE
Heavy social media input by KIRO FM 97.3, as opposed to infrequent posts from 97.7/1000 KNWN. Social media is FREE advertising. Each station should have at least one person focused on getting out a few posts each day on the social media platforms that matter. KVI (Ari Hoffman) and KTTH (Jason Rantz) rely heavily, daily, on sites like X.com to promote.
