Audacy and Monumental Sports & Entertainment (MSE) are strengthening their relationship through a new multi-year extension that will broaden sports coverage across both audio and video platforms in the Washington, D.C. market. Under the agreement, 106.7 The Fan becomes the official flagship station for the Washington Wizards, while continuing to serve as the flagship for the Washington Capitals.
Select broadcasts—particularly when both teams play on the same night—will also air on The Team 980 and 99.1 WDCH.
The partnership also extends to the Washington Mystics, whose games will continue to be carried across 106.7 The Fan, The Team 980, 99.1 WDCH, and 1580 The Bet. Each broadcast will include halftime coverage and feature live audio simulcasts from Monumental Sports Network’s (MNMT) television production.
In addition to live game coverage, the collaboration will expand cross-platform content. The fan-favorite morning show The Sports Junkies will continue its weekday simulcast on MNMT and now stream live and on demand through 106.7 The Fan’s YouTube channel.
Starting November 3, BMitch and Finlay will also simulcast daily on MNMT from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. ET, bringing another of Audacy’s most popular local programs to both television and digital audiences.
“We are excited to extend and expand our partnership with Monumental Sports to enhance the listening and viewing experience for fans,” said Ivy Savoy-Smith, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Audacy Washington D.C. “Being the flagship station for the Wizards and Capitals solidifies our position as the top destination for D.C. sports fans.”
Zach Leonsis, President of Media & New Enterprises at MSE, echoed that sentiment, noting the collaboration’s focus on accessibility and audience reach.
“This expanded partnership with Audacy allows us to bring even more of the content fans love—across radio, TV, and digital platforms—whenever and wherever they want it,” Leonsis said.
For fans, that means broader coverage than ever. The Wizards Radio Network will air all 82 regular season games, three preseason contests, and full pregame and postgame shows, with veteran play-by-play voice Dave Johnson returning for his 29th season.
The Capitals Radio Network, anchored by 106.7 The Fan, features 14 affiliates across the Mid-Atlantic and welcomes back John Walton and Ken Sabourin for their 15th and 23rd seasons, respectively.
MNMT remains the exclusive local TV rights holder for the Capital City Go-Go and also broadcasts the Washington Spirit, Old Glory DC, and extensive college and high school sports coverage. The partnership underscores both companies’ commitment to deepening fan engagement through multi-platform storytelling and dynamic local sports coverage.
📻 MSE and @Audacy have announced a multi-year extension of their broadcast and content partnership, making 106.7 The Fan the flagship station for the @WashWizards and continuing as the flagship home of the @Capitals.
