Edmonton Oilers, 630 CHED renew broadcast partnership for 3 more years

Edmonton Oilers fans will keep turning to 630 CHED for coverage as the team has renewed its broadcast partnership with the station.

For 28 consecutive years, 630 CHED has been the radio play-by-play home for Oilers hockey, said a news release from Corus Entertainment, the parent company of 630 CHED.

Corus, 630 CHED and the Oilers Entertainment Group (OEG) announced Thursday that the partnership has been renewed for three more years.

Stew MacDonald, president and chief revenue officer with OEG, said he couldn’t be happier to continue the partnership.

“So many iconic moments have been ingrained into Oil Country history on 630 CHED by the best-in-class broadcast team including Bob Stauffer, Jack Michaels, Cam Moon, Reid Wilkins and Rob Brown, and we look forward to creating many more legendary Oilers moments together with this renewed partnership,” said MacDonald.
