Sporting Kansas City announced on Tuesday a three-year broadcast agreement with Sports Radio 810 WHB to continue serving as the club’s official English-language radio partner through the 2017 season.
“We are very excited to continue our partnership with Sporting Kansas City,” said Chad Boeger, President and General Manager of Union Broadcasting. “As a locally-owned and operated company, we are proud to support our home-town soccer team. We look forward to our partnership for many years to come.”
“We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Sports Radio 810 WHB,” said Andy Tretiak, Chief Marketing Officer for Sporting Kansas City. “Everyone at the station has been incredibly supportive of our club and there could not be a better radio home for Sporting KC."
