The University of Minnesota and Learfield Sports announced an extensive partnership with IHeart Media on Tuesday. The new partnership means that Gopher Basketball, Gopher Women’s Basketball and Gopher Hockey will be leaving 1500 ESPN and moving to networks owned by IHeart media. In the Twin Cities, this means the flagship station for Gopher Hockey will now be News Talk 1130 AM, with an FM simulcast on 103.5 FM. Gopher Basketball will be split with a majority of the non-conference games on 1130 AM/103.5 FM and between 12-20 games in the Big Ten portion of the schedule airing on KFAN 100.
