The Milwaukee Brewers and Newsradio 620 WTMJ announced the completion of a radio rights agreement that continues the longstanding partnership between the two organizations.

The announcement was made today by Brewers' COO Rick Schlesinger and Steve Wexler, executive vice-president of the Journal Broadcast Group, which owns WTMJ.

"The Milwaukee Brewers and Journal Broadcast Group have one of the longest-standing partnerships in professional sports, and today's news ensures that our work together will continue as we bring Milwaukee Brewers on radio to fans all over Wisconsin," Schlesinger said.

"WTMJ is committed to using all of their resources to covering the Brewers both on and off the field, and we are proud to continue this partnership as a great sports tradition."

WTMJ-AM has served as the radio flagship of the Brewers for all but two seasons since the team moved to Milwaukee. The prior agreement carried through the 2012 season. No other terms of the new contract were disclosed.

WTMJ's history as flagship radio station for the Brewers dates to 1970 when the team relocated from Seattle. This season, Bob Uecker is entering his 42nd year as voice of the Brewers. He is joined by Joe Block, currently in his first season as a member of the broadcast team.
