It will be the third consecutive season for 1090-AM to broadcast Notre Dame games. The Fighting Irish 2022 season begins Sept. 3 with an away game at Ohio State on Sept. 3.

“Add the NFL to 1090 was a no-brainer, the NFL is king. And, yet, it is another key and exclusive building block for the station,” said Hagen. “We were very happy to sign for a third year with Notre Dame football, as well. The largest Notre Dame alumni base is in Southern California.”
