Audacy Strikes Flagship Partnership With Portland Timbers

PORTLAND, OR - January 29, 2026 - 105.1 The Fan (KRSK-FM), an Audacy station in Portland, is the new flagship radio home for the Portland Timbers. As part of the partnership, Timbers matches will be broadcast across the FAN Sports Network (105.1 FM and 1080 AM). While many games will be simulcast on both stations, select matches will air exclusively on either 105.1 FM or 1080 AM. Fans can also stream the games on the Audacy app within the Portland area. The Timbers' season kicks off on February 21 against the Columbus Crew.

"We're extremely excited to partner with the Portland Timbers as we continue delivering the best local sports content and growing the FAN Sports Network," said Ryan Cooley, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Audacy Portland. "Together, we're committed to delivering high-quality coverage and meaningful access for fans, so The Fan becoming the radio home of the Portland Timbers was a natural fit. We look forward to working closely with the club to enhance the matchday and season-long experience."

"We are thrilled to partner with 105.1 The Fan, creating a flagship presence for the club on FM radio that will help us engage a broader audience across the region," said Heather Davis, Chief Executive Officer, Portland Timbers. "This new partnership brings fresh energy and excitement to how fans will follow the club on match days and throughout the week on The Fan's wide variety of local programming."

105.1 The Fan is launching "Timbers FAN," a weekly show hosted by Apple TV's lead MLS play-by-play announcer, Jake Zivin, and The Fan's midday host, Patrick Harris. The program will feature interviews with players and coaches, as well as updates on the team and T2 squads. Fans can tune in to "Timbers FAN" on Tuesdays from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. PT starting February 10.
