More from the "sports on FM" world. The Philadelphia 76ers and Greater Media have announced, starting with the upcoming playoffs, games will be heard 97.5 The Fanatic (WPEN FM). It's a multi-year arrangement between the two parties. In addition, the team and Greater Media will work to build a radio network to enable more sports fans in eastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey and Delaware to listen to Sixers games on the radio. Some games will also be simulcast on 950 ESPN Radio.
Next season and beyond, 76ers game broadcasts on 97.5 The Fanatic and 950 ESPN Radio will also include 20 minutes of coverage prior to the game tip off and 40 minutes of coverage after the game concludes, thanks to a new 10 minute pre-game show and 30 minute post-game show, which will bookend the game broadcast itself. The post-game show will include player interviews and a live broadcast of 76ers Head Coach Doug Collins post-game press conference.
