Sundogs fans, sit in the rowdiest section in Tim’s Toyota Center during an Arizona Sundogs home game!

KDDL Dog House tickets are only available at the Tim’s Toyota Box Office on game days from noon to 6:00 pm. A regular priced KDDL 94.3 Dog House ticket is $14 at the box office.

Eight game vouchers are valid for the Dog House but the KDDL discount will not apply.

“We are pleased to announce this partnership with Prescott Valley Broadcasting and KDDL 94.3 FM,” said Arizona Sundogs Director of Business Operations Bill Yates. “We chose to develop this relationship with Prescott Valley Broadcasting because they are ‘Arizona’s Hometown Radio Group’ and they own some of the premier stations in Northern Arizona, including KDDL 94.3 FM, with a listenership that stretches across the entire region. For us to reach an agreement with KDDL to broadcast Sundogs games, both home and away, is a win-win situation for both organizations.”

As outlined by the partnership, KDDL 94.3 FM will broadcast all preseason, regular season and subsequent postseason games during the 2009-10 season.

“Arizona’s Hometown Radio Group has always been a strong supporter of the Arizona Sundogs,” noted Sanford Cohen, President and General Manager of Prescott Valley Broadcasting Co., Inc.  “We’re pleased to have KDDL 94.3 FM ‘Cattle Country’ be named the Official Radio Home of Arizona Sundogs Hockey and excited to be able to offer loyal Sundogs fans a quality radio broadcast.”

New for fans in 2009-10, all Sundogs radio broadcasts will be streamed live online at www.cattlecountryradio.com. Also new to fans this season, KDDL 94.3 FM will provide fans the opportunity to listen to radio broadcasts inside Tim’s Toyota Center during home games on radio frequency 97.3 FM. In addition, KDDL will broadcast all Sundogs game live with no tape-delays.

Sundogs radio broadcaster Jordan Duvall will continue to serve as play-by-play announcer. Duvall joined the Sundogs prior to the 2008-09 season after serving as Director of Media Relations and Broadcasting for the CHL’s Amarillo Gorillas in 2007-08. His previous experience also includes serving as play-by-play announcer for the Jr. ‘B’ Helena Bighorns of the Northern Pacific Hockey League (NorPac).

“I am looking forward to the upcoming season and working with KDDL 94.3 FM to provide the Sundogs faithful with a quality product throughout the season,” added Duvall. “In talking with their staff, we have a lot of great things in store for our listenership.”

The Sundogs are set to open the 2009-10 regular season at home at Tim’s Toyota Center on Friday, Oct. 16 and Saturday, Oct. 17 against the expansion Allen Americans. Both games are slated for 7:05pm (Arizona time) starts. Season tickets are available for as low as $350. Ask about the ‘No-Risk Protection Plan’.
