Cumulus to offer NFL Kansas City Chiefs games in Surround Sound

Cumulus already broadcasts Atlanta Braves baseball games in Surround Sound, and now the company says this will be "football's first surround sound broadcast delivery across radio." Cumulus Senior VP of Engineering and IT Gary Kline says they'll be "enveloping listeners with the sounds of the action and the stadium, giving them the best seats in the house", as if listeners were on the 50-yard line. The DTS Neural Surround equipment is built by licensee DaySequerra, offering 5.1 surround sound on FM stereo. iBiquity senior VP Joe D'Angelo says "the combination of the DTS system and HD Radio technology provides crystal clear digital audio." The Chiefs Radio Network has more than 50 affiliates. The Cumulus-owned flagship is classic rock "101 the Fox" KCFX.
