"UMaine Athletics is thrilled to bring Black Bear baseball and basketball to Townsquare Media's family of networks," says Director of Athletics, Ken Ralph.As the only dedicated sports radio station in our region, The Ticket will provide outstanding coverage for the state's only Division I baseball and basketball programs. We are looking forward to great years from both programs and we are glad our fans will be able to enjoy 92.9 The Ticket and the family of networks as they follow their Black Bears."
A comprehensive slate of UMaine baseball and men's and women's basketball games will be carried over the Townsquare Media airwaves. All women's basketball games will be featured on WEZQ, The Ticket 92.9-FM, "Maine's Sports Leader." Conflicting contests will be carried on WDEA 1370-AM.

"These are exciting times for UMaine and we couldn't be happier to be the flagship station for men's and women's basketball and baseball. We've always felt that a partnership should be a win-win for UMaine Athletics, for UMaine fans, for Learfield and, of course, for Townsquare and 92.9 The Ticket. In this case we check all the boxes and we look forward to growing our partnership in the years ahead."
"We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with University of Maine Athletics and Learfield on this new partnership," adds The Ticket Brand Manager, Jim Churchill. "Bringing local live events to the fans in Maine on The Ticket and Ticket TV is a priority. The addition of UMaine basketball and baseball to our lineup is a perfect fit. The future for Black Bear athletics is bright and we are very happy to be a part of it."
