The Oakland Raiders are due to move to Las Vegas in 2020 but Beasley Media is getting a jump start by signing a two-year deal to be the Raiders’ flagship in Las Vegas for the 2017 and 2018 seasons.
102.7 The Coyote/KCYE-FM & KDWN-720 AM will cover preseason and regular season Raiders games for those two years. Greg Papa, the voice of the Raiders, will again team with former Raiders quarterback, head coach, and assistant coach Tom Flores to call the action. Former Raiders Pro Bowl tackle Lincoln Kennedy will provide sideline analysis.
The agreement with Beasley was negotiated by Compass Media Networks, which exclusively manages, produces, and distributes all Raiders audio broadcasts. The Raiders are moving to Las Vegas for the 2020 season. The team is expected to break ground on a $1.9 billion stadium by the end of the year.
“We are absolutely thrilled to be named the official Las Vegas flagship radio partner of the Raiders,” said Brian Beasley, Executive Vice president and Chief Operating Officer at Beasley Media Group. “Our five radio properties are the perfect fit as the team makes NFL history with its exciting new move to Las Vegas. The Beasley Media Group team is committed to providing the team and our listeners with the very best sports programming and entertainment experience possible.”
