Minnesota Timberwolves Depart WCCO

The NBA’s Minnesota Timberwolves will move their game broadcasts from Audacy News/Talk 830 WCCO Minneapolis for a “super non-traditional” broadcast agreement.

The Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports that Timberwolves Chief Operating Officer Ryan Tanke told WCCO “the team is going to use a ‘super non-traditional’ route for its broadcast partnership in a ‘one-year trial’.” The team would only state, “We appreciated our partnership with WCCO and the radio broadcast opportunities we were able to accomplish with them. However, we are looking forward to announcing a new radio broadcast partnership in the weeks to come.”

WCCO has served as the flagship for the Timberwolves network across Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota since the 2011-12 season. The franchise previously was heard on 1130 KFAN and 106.1 KLCI.
