Jim Rutherford, President and General Manager of the National Hockey League\u2019s Carolina Hurricanes, today announced that the team has reached an agreement on a three-year extension with Capitol Broadcasting Company to keep 99.9 FM The Fan as the flagship station of the Hurricanes Radio Network. The agreement continues partnership through the 2014-15 NHL season.<\/p>\n
\u201cCapitol Broadcasting has been a good friend and partner of the Hurricanes since the team\u2019s arrival in North Carolina,\u201d said Rutherford. \u201cWe\u2019re pleased that 99.9 The Fan will continue as the team\u2019s home on the radio.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Fan will continue to carry play-by-play calls of all Hurricanes games as it has since its inception in October 2007. The station also will continue to produce ancillary Hurricanes programming, including its pre- and post-game shows, Stormfront and Aftermath, surrounding each game.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are pleased to extend our partnership with the Carolina Hurricanes,\u201d said Jason Dixon, operations manager\/program director for 99.9 FM The Fan. \u201cOur commitment to this partnership goes beyond all preseason, regular season and playoff games, as well as Canes Corner. We will be using all of our platforms, including web, social media mobile and, of course, radio, to provide Canes fans with all of the coverage that they expect from \u2018The Official Station of Caniac Nation.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Hurricanes\u2019 broadcasts are not only great entertainment for our listeners, but a great way for our clients to reach the affluent sports listener. The Canes broadcasts are consistently near the top of nighttime listening.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Carolina Hurricanes will play their final home game of the 2011-12 season on Thursday, April 5, at PNC Arena against the Montreal Canadiens (7 p.m., FOX Sports Carolinas HD, Hurricanes Radio Network).<\/p>\n
