The Milwaukee Bucks and Entercom Milwaukee (105.7FM The FAN, 99.1 The Mix, 103.7 KISS-FM) today announced a new partnership creating new on-air content as well as promotion and marketing opportunities for the team. Fans can now look forward to expanded game day and weekly coverage of Milwaukee Bucks basketball and team community events.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Entercom Milwaukee to give our fans even more of the great Bucks content they crave,” Bucks President Peter Feigin said. “Between the game broadcasts on our flagship station and all the exciting new content on 105.7FM The Fan, we’re providing our fans the best listening experience in the league.”
105.7FM The FAN/1250AM will feature several live programs as part of this new partnership.

The newly added Sparky’s Bucks Weekly, which will debut this Wednesday, Dec. 2 at 5 p.m., will feature unique interviews with Bucks coaches, players, executives and fans. Listeners can call in with questions and hear the latest about the team both on and off the court every week throughout the season.
