What is the story about?

The Buffalo Bills play in one of the NFL's smallest markets.

Their new radio network can potentially reach more than 50 million people.

From New York City to South Florida and across the border into Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa, the Bills have dramatically expanded the reach of their radio broadcasts for the 2026 season.

The Bills will have 28 radio affiliates this season, including stations across New York and Pennsylvania and some outside the team's traditional footprint.

Perhaps the most interesting is ESPN New York 1050, which will carry Bills games in the country's largest media market and the home market of the New York Giants and Jets.

More than 1,000 miles south of Buffalo, Bills games will also air on ESPN West Palm 106.3 FM in West Palm Beach,

Florida.

And the network is international.

The Bills announced Aug. 13 that they partnered with Bell Media's TSN to add affiliates in three major Canadian markets: TSN 1050 in Toronto, TSN 690 in Montreal and TSN 1200 in Ottawa.

Games will be streamed throughout Canada through the TSN channel on iHeartRadio Canada.

"Canada has always held a special place in the Buffalo Bills organization," Bills president of business operations Pete Guelli said. "Our Canadian fans are an essential part of Bills Mafia, and expanding our radio network into Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa will strengthen that connection."

The additions are the latest step in a significant overhaul and expansion of the Bills' radio operation.

The Bills took over production and distribution of their radio broadcasts for the 2026 season and announced in May that 97 Rock WGRF-FM would become the team's new flagship station in Buffalo. The move returned Bills games to 97 Rock for the first time since 2011.

Then the network began expanding.

The Bills announced 23 affiliates in July, a 35% increase from 2025. The initial network included stations throughout upstate New York, along with three in Pennsylvania.

It also extended the network to New York City and West Palm Beach.

At the time, the Bills said their radio network would reach a potential population of more than 30 million.

"With more network affiliates, we're reaching fans throughout New York, Pennsylvania, and even Florida," Guelli said in July. "There's a strong demand for radio and audio content in all forms, and we're pleased to meet that need."

Less than a month later, Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa joined the network and increased its potential reach to more than 50 million.

There's one affiliate much farther west.

Bills games will air on KGAB 650 AM in Cheyenne, Wyoming, where Josh Allen played college football at the University of Wyoming. The Bills have had a radio affiliate in Wyoming since 2021.

The Bills also revamped their radio programming for the move into the new Highmark Stadium.

Chris Brown returns as the team's play-by-play announcer alongside former Bills center Eric Wood, while Steve Tasker joins the broadcast as sideline reporter.

The team added two-hour pregame and postgame shows hosted by former Bills center Mitch Morse and western New York sports personality Chris Trapasso.

The expansion gives Bills fans plenty of ways to listen with 19 stations throughout New York, including Rochester (Rock 95.1 FM), Syracuse (The Score 1260), Albany (FOX Sports 980) and Utica (K Rock 94.9).
