ESPN Radio Teams Up with 99.9 fm/The Fan


We’ve teamed up with the sports juggernaut, ESPN, “the Worldwide Leader in Sports.” On Monday, December 1st at 6am, our sports-talk station, 99.9 FM The Fan, became ESPN Radio’s Triangle affiliate.


ESPN’s top talent, high profile guests, analysis, reporting and play-by-play will compliment our afternoon local shows and Carolina Hurricanes coverage. The affiliation gives The Fan access to ESPN’s college hoops luminaries like Jay Bilas, Hubert Davis and Dickie V - fuel for the hardwood fire that gets us through the winter in these parts.

With ESPN we add MLB and NBA play-by-play to The Fan’s line-up. With our existing Westwood One affiliation we have the NFL and college football and basketball. What a package!

On the web we have redesigned and renamed our sports web site – wralsportsfan.com.


Breaking sports news. Radio interviews from The Fan. Video from the WRAL TV5 Sports Department. This is THE website for your on-demand sports fix. Listen to a compelling radio interview while you check your e-mail, read an insider’s blog or view an endless menu of video clips from coaches and players.
