Tbirds entered into an agreement with Clear Channel to put all regular season and playoff broadcasts on 104.9 FM the "Funky Monkey". http://www.funkymonkey1049.fm/main.html
The official story can be found here.
Couple things of interest from the story.
I don't know this for a fact but I would assume that Thom Beuning is employed by the Thunderbirds and will remain as the Play by Play guy for broadcasts.
Also... a little information on 104.9. As I mentioned the station is owned by Clear Channel who also happens to own KJR AM 950, which is nice as I could see some synergy and maybe slightly more coverage of the team.
I would love nothing more than to have me replaced by some more actual extensive coverage (or somebody who wants to hire me.. haha)
The tower is located out of Eatonville (the actual station is listed as Lynnwood) and has a 17,000 watts of ERP.
Here is a rough coverage map that I was able to locate. It looks like the signal might not be the best in Seattle but the further south you go the better it gets, which makes a lot of sense for this team.
