I saw this short item in Rob Feder's media column in Chicago's The Daily Herald. WBBM 780-AM is a 50,000 Watt station with a big signal. It is also the radio home of the Chicago Bears. It is one of Chicago's most prestigious radio stations.
The longtime radio home of Chicago Bears football just became the new radio home of Notre Dame football. Under a multiyear deal announced this week, WBBM 780-AM, the Audacy all-news station, will carry all Fighting Irish games, starting September 5. (While games are airing on 780-AM, WBBM Newsradio will continue as all-news on WCFS 105.9-FM.) Notre Dame football had been on Good Karma Brands ESPN sports/talk WMVP 1000-AM since 2016. “Notre Dame football is a powerhouse college football program with a large alumni and fan base across Chicago,” Rachel Williamson, Audacy Chicago regional president and market manager, said in a statement. “It’s our honor to bring the Fighting Irish games to listeners on WBBM-AM’s premier signal.”
