CCM+E Regional Market Manager-MILWAUKEE-MADISON JEFF TYLER said, “Our partnership with UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN and LEARFIELD’S BADGER SPORTS PROPERTIES has become a key component for us as local broadcasters, and our team is excited to be the new broadcast home for the BADGERS for MILWAUKEE and all of Southeastern WISCONSIN.  MILWAUKEE and MADISON both rank at or near the top for cities in the country where sports fans listen on radio.  The BADGERS are one of the finest programs in the country with high engagement for the fans, and a terrific marketing platform for our customers.”

BADGERS Director of Athletics BARRY ALVAREZ said, “We appreciate the opportunity to move the needle in our history books with CLEAR CHANNEL, yet at the same time, we’re extremely grateful to STEVE WEXLER and everyone associated with JOURNAL BROADCASTING for building an incredible radio heritage for the BADGERS.  We have high expectations for the CLEAR CHANNEL affiliates and know our fans will continue to enjoy high-quality BADGER broadcasts and programming.”
