Vanderbilt Athletics & 102.5 The Game Announce Multi-Year Broadcasting Deal

Vanderbilt Athletics and Cromwell Media have announced that they will enter a new multi-year partnership at the start of the 2023-2024 academic year.

“Vanderbilt Athletics looks forward to building on our strong relationship with Cromwell Media,” says Candice Lee, Vanderbilt Vice Chancellor, Athletics & University Affairs & Athletic Director. “We’re excited to partner with the proven voice of Nashville sports talk radio, and are committed to reaching as many supporters as possible in the community we call home.”

102.5 The Game will be the primary flagship station for all Commodore football, men’s basketball and baseball games—along with the Commodore Hour, Vanderbilt’s weekly radio show—with those contests simulcast on 106.3 FM as well. When conflicts arise due to the Nashville Predators’ schedule, those program’s broadcasts are set to air on 94.9 FM, which will also serve as the home for Vandy women’s basketball.

“We couldn’t be more excited about our newly expanded relationship with Vanderbilt Athletics,” says Bud Walters, Cromwell Media President. “For the last three years we’ve been their proud broadcast partner for football and men’s basketball. The addition of baseball and women’s basketball now provides generations of Vandy fans and alumni the ability to hear all the games and coaches shows all under one roof. This is historic at every level and we can’t wait to get started!”

Vandy’s first game broadcast on 102.5 The Game will be on Aug. 26 when Commodore football hosts Hawaii.
