Radio

On August 15, 2011, it was confirmed that WPRT would switch to a sports format. Adopting the new moniker "102.5 The Game", the format change took effect on Monday, August 29, 2011, at 6 AM, following a weekend of stunting of construction sounds, Nashville Predators highlights, and a loop for several hours of the closing chorus of "The Party's Over" by Journey. The station took over flagship status for the Predators after a one-year stint on sister-station 102.9 The Buzz. [1] Upon its format change, the station announced it would become a primary affiliate of ESPN Radio in six weeks after launch. This delay was due to ESPN Radio exercising an eight-week exit clause (executed two weeks prior to launch) in the contract with secondary affiliate WGFX-FM. [2] Upon assumption of the affiliation, WPRT-FM began to carry various ESPN Radio programming. Over time, the station has added more local programming, including multiple specialty hockey shows.

At the start of the 2024-25 season, Pete Weber reduced his schedule to only home games, with the exception of playoff games and specialty games, such as 2025 games in Sweeden. Max Herz was named play-by-play broadcaster for road games. [3]
