Trenton Thunder News Release
(Trenton, NJ) - The Trenton Thunder, the Double-A Affiliate of the New York Yankees, have announced a new three-year deal with Millennium Radio New Jersey to keep all Thunder radio broadcasts, regular season and post-season, on WBUD 1260-AM through the 2009 season.
WBUD-AM has served as the home of the Thunder radio broadcasts since the 2004 season. At the end of the new agreement, the Thunder and Millennium Radio New Jersey will have the longest radio tenure in the history of the franchise. All broadcasts will kick off with the "Thunder Insider" Pre-Game Show, a 30-minute show before home games and a 20-minute show prior to road games, and conclude with the A-1 Limousine Post-Game Show, a 15-minute report after each game.
"We are very happy to announce our continued partnership with WBUD," said Thunder General Manager/ C.O.O. Brad Taylor. "It continues to give the Thunder a radio station with a strong AM signal, allowing for excellent broadcast coverage to our fans in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania."
Broadcasts start on Thursday, April 5th as the Thunder host the Bowie Baysox at 7:05 PM. Thunder broadcaster Dan Loney will return for his sixth season behind the microphone and will once again be joined by Steve Rudenstein, who returns for a second straight season.
"The Thunder has been a large part of the community for many years and a great addition to our lineup on WBUD-AM," said Millennium Radio New Jersey Group Vice-President Andy Santoro. "We are excited to reach this agreement with the Thunder, as they are a vital part of our community and a great partner with us on several of our projects.
