Seattle Seahawk games will continue to be heard on KIRO-AM radio for the next few years, as the NFL team extended its broadcasting deal with Bonneville Seattle.

Terms of the "multiyear" deal weren't disclosed.

Salt Lake City-based Bonneville International Corp. acquired KIRO in January as part of a swap of stations with Entercom Communications Corp. Bonneville also said that next year, the Seahawks games will also be heard on KBSG-FM, which it also acquired in the swap.

The deal includes the "Coach Holmgren Show" with Seahawks coach

Mike talks on the KIRO morning show twice a week during the football season, and the "Seahawks Huddle," which is the club's weekly radio show heard on Wednesday.
