    TRAIL BLAZERS TRANSITION TO FOX SPORTS RADIO 620
    Team stays with Clear Channel Media + Entertainment,
    moves down the hall for new radio flagship

    PORTLAND, Ore. (August 29, 2013) – The Portland Trail Blazers and Clear Channel Media + Entertainment have entered into an agreement to air all preseason and regular season games on Fox Sports Radio 620 (KPOJ AM) during the 2013-14 season, it was announced by the team today.

    Trail Blazers Radio Announcers Brian Wheeler and Antonio Harvey will call the first broadcast on the new radio flagship when the Trail Blazers open the 2013-14 preseason against the Los Angeles Clippers at the Moda Center on Monday, Oct. 7.

    “We are excited about the opportunity to broadcast our games on a station the offers an all-sports format,” said Trail Blazers President & CEO Chris McGowan. “This transition also allows us to avoid any preemption throughout the course of the season.”

    Fox Sports Radio 620 will also broadcast Trail Blazers Courtside, the team’s weekly talk show hosted by Wheeler, Harvey and television broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice, beginning Monday, Sept. 9.

    "We're thrilled to continue our partnership and build "Blazer Mania" in Portland,” said Clear Channel Media + Entertainment Market President Robert Dove. ”For all things Trail Blazers you only need Fox Sports Radio 620."

    Radio affiliates outside of the Portland area will not be affected.

    So for us out- of- towners, where were they last year? How many times have they switched in the last few years?

    Were on 1190 last year. Gone from 95.5 to 750 to 1190 to 620 in the past 4 years.

    WTF is up with this? They switch radio stations every year, but on the TV side, they signed a 10 year deal with Comcast?????

    The High Fidelity broadcasts on 95.5 were THE BOMB. Man that sounded so good.

    620 now programmed in my car.

    Probably start listening to 620 a lot more because of this move. I follow around the Blazer broadcast station like a good sheep. I'm so bad I will listen to the station even when the Blazers weren't on. Sucks when it was 1190. I used to listen to 750 all the time and continued to listen a little when the Blazers moved stations. But these days I notice I never listen to 750 . . . looks like 620 will be my station of choice this year (with a little 1080 mixed in here and there)

    C'mon Paul!! I have boycotted that station and will continue to do so. Ever since Clear Channel (Owned by Mitt Romney's Bain Capital) took progressive radio off I have sworn not to turn to that station. Well, at least my brother has Comcast.... :sad:

    IMO, the only good talk radio show on any station is Issac and Suke... only because they make me laugh. The rest of it is just re-hash.

    They may be entertaining, but you have to admit that they know NOTHING about the NBA......NOTHING!

    And when our ONLY pro sport in town is basketball, they aren't bringing much to the table for me.

    620 is great. A nice Beavers station! Wheels at Work, too! Only thing worse that Petros and Money is Isak and Suke, those guys blow.
