880 CHED extends Edmonton Oilers broadcast rights

880 CHED has renewed its radio broadcast partnership with the Edmonton Oilers for another three years.

The extension, which builds on the station’s history of broadcasting every Oilers game since 1995, includes all home and away games.

Coverage will be helmed by play-by-play announcers Jack Michaels and Cam Moon, with Bob Stauffer – who also hosts marquee weekday show Oilers Now – providing colour commentary. Brenden Escott and Rob Brown will lead game day programming with the Oilers Face Off Show and Oilers Overtime.

“For three decades now 880 CHED has been proud to deliver the most comprehensive and trusted Edmonton Oliers coverage to fans across the country,” said Andrew Murdoch, Manager, Talk & Talent, Corus Radio, in an announcement. “The Oilers are part of CHED’s DNA, and we’re thrilled to extend our partnership with them to continue broadcasting our in-depth analysis and live game coverage, that fans have come to expect and love.”

“We couldn’t be happier to continue our 30-year partnership with 880 CHED, which includes what we believe is the best radio broadcast in hockey,” added Stew MacDonald, President and Chief Revenue Officer, OEG Sports & Entertainment. “Oilers fans deserve a broadcast that matches their passion, and 880 CHED continues to deliver elite play-by-play and analysis from one of the most respected teams in hockey, including Bob Stauffer, Jack Michaels, Cam Moon, Brenden Escott and Rob Brown. So many iconic moments have been brought to life on 880 CHED, and we’re excited to build on that legacy and deliver the next generation of unforgettable Oilers memories together in communities across Oil Country.”
