Dickey Broadcasting Company and the Georgia Swarm Pro Lacrosse team have officially signed a one-year deal to deliver the first-ever professional lacrosse radio broadcasts in the state of Georgia.

Dickey Broadcasting Company is now the official flagship station of the Georgia Swarm, and all home games throughout the 2017-2018 season will air live on 1230AM/106.3FM The Fan 2, and streaming online or your smart phone at 1230thefan2.com. The partnership will give local fans the ability to listen to the Swarm on a regular basis.

“We’ve seen great results in partnering with 680 The Fan, and adding live broadcasts of Swarm home games on The Fan 2 (1230AM/106.3FM) will only increase our footprint in the metro Atlanta area,” Swarm Co-Owner and President Andy Arlotta said. “We’ve really enjoyed working with the management staff and on-air talent of 680 The Fan, and their support during our championship season was instrumental in our success. Our partnership continues to evolve and this broadcast deal is exciting not only for the Swarm, but also for fans wanting to follow this championship team more closely.”

“680 The Fan is proud to announce this partnership with The World Champion Georgia Swarm,” said David Dickey, president of Dickey Broadcasting Company. “We love this team: from the coaches, players and all the way up to ownership. This is a first class organization that we believe aligns well with our brands. The Fan 2 (1230AM/106.3FM) is growing and so is the Swarm. They’ve already brought home a championship so we’re excited to continue to build off that. The lacrosse fan/consumer weaves nicely into our demographic, and we’re optimistic about the growth in Atlanta of lacrosse both with the Swarm and youth/high school.”
