The Miami Dolphins today announced a long-term extension of their radio partnership with WRXK 96K-Rock in Ft. Myers, a station of the Beasley Broadcasting Group, providing 96K-Rock with exclusive broadcast rights of its games in Southwest Florida.

Financial terms were not disclosed.

In addition, the station will air the live two-hour pre-game and two-hour post-game shows that run adjacent to the game broadcast. The station, along with sister station WWCN 770 ESPN, will also promote the Dolphins broadcasts, conduct special fan contests and create other promotions to give its listeners special opportunities to engage with Dolphins football.

“Beasley and 96K-Rock have been great partners so we are extremely pleased to extend the relationship for many more years and continue to offer our fans in Southwest Florida with high quality Dolphins programming,” said Mike Dee, Dolphins CEO.

“The Dolphins are the premier team in Florida with an incredible fan base,” said Brad Beasley, General Manager of WRXK 96K-Rock. “We’re delighted to continue to offer our listeners the excitement of Dolphins football for many years to come.”
