The local programming from iHeartMedia Sports 97.3 The Game WRNW-FM
Milwaukee has been added to iHearts 1070 WTSO Madison.

In January 2020, WTSO had dropped its former The Big 1070 moniker for 1070
The Game and added a simulcast of WRNWs Steve Czaben Show for mornings. But
within a few months the station dropped Czaben and was branding as Fox
Sports 1070

Now Czaben is back along with WRNWs 9am-12pm Nine To Noon and 12-3pm The
Crossover. Mike Hellers local show remains in afternoons from 3-6pm and Fox
Sports Radio in nights and overnights.

iHeartMedia has been building out a statewide network of affiliates for
WRNW, with Midwest Communications’ 970 WDUL Superior WI/Duluth MN, Wausau
market 1390 WRIG Schofield/93.9 W230BU Rothschild, and 1440 WNFL/101.9
W270AJ Green Bay airing the programming along with some shows on iHearts
98.7 The Fan 1400 WBIZ/98.7 W254CN Eau Claire.

Timed with the start of Gonzaga Universitys NCAA tournament run, the
station will carry all of Fox Sports Radios programming along with

reverts KGA to what it was airing prior to dropping the Fox Sports Radio

affiliates nationwide.

FOX Sports Radio (FSR), a division of Premiere Sports Network providing

FOX Sports Radio’s 24/7 lineup, including The Herd with Colin Cowherd, The
Dan Patrick Show, Outkick The Coverage with Clay Travis, The Doug Gottlieb
Show, The Odd Couple with Chris Broussard Rob Parker, Straight Outta Vegas
with R.J. Bell, The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon and The Ben Maller
Show. “FOX Sports Radio 103.5 The Game� will debut tomorrow, March 19, at 6
a.m. with The Dan Patrick Show.

“As the flagship station for the Gonzaga Bulldogs, we are thrilled to add
the wall-to-wall sports coverage provided by FOX Sports Radio,� said Kent
Jones, Operations Manager of Stephens Media Group Spokane, Wash. “This is
an exciting time for Gonzaga and Spokane. FOX Sports Radio’s amazing lineup
of talent with their coverage of the tournament and everything sports
allows us to provide the best sports programming for Spokane, both now and
throughout the year.�

The broadcasting milestone comes on the heels of FSR’s 20th anniversary in
August 2020. With millions of listeners nationwide, FSR continues to offer
an unmatched weekday lineup featuring some of the biggest names in sports
broadcasting. On the digital front, FSR experienced double and triple-digit
gains across multiple platforms in January and February 2021. Total podcast

of Programming for FOX Sports Radio, in a joint statement. “There couldn’t
be a better time to collaborate and grow together, while celebrating this
historic milestone. We’re proud of the entire FOX Sports Radio team who
