"We are very excited to partner with the ATLANTA HAWKS organization,” said CBS RADIO ATLANTA SVP/Market Manager RICK CAFFEY.  “DANNY FERRY, Coach BUD (MIKE BUDENHOLZER) and the Team are launching a new era of HAWKS basketball and 92-9 THE GAME is very proud to play a part in bringing the vivacity of the NBA to fans across the entire metro of ATLANTA.”

The deal was set to be unveiled at 9a (ET) TODAY on the air with GM DANNY FERRY, players AL HORFORD and ZAZA PACHULIA, and former players DOMINIQUE WILKINS and CHARLIE CRISS on hand and call-ins from BUDENHOLZER and LOU WILLIAMS.
