The Arizona Coyotes announced Wednesday they have signed their TV and radio broadcast teams to multi-year contracts.

That includes 98.7 FM Arizona’s Sports Station’s Coyotes play-by-play man Bob Heethuis and announcer Paul Bissonnette.

Heethuis will be back for his 14th season calling Coyotes games for 98.7 FM and his 21st season overall. “Heeter” has also spent time hosting post-game call-in shows for the Coyotes and more.

Bissonnette had his debut season on 98.7 FM last year with Heethuis, following a six-year NHL career that ended in 2014 after his fifth year with the Coyotes. “Biz Nasty” also will continue creating original digital content for the Coyotes’ website and social media. That includes the popular week-by-week analysis from the roster on the hit ABC reality show “The Bachelor” that earned rave reviews.

Along with the radio team coming back, Fox Sports Arizona’s crew of play-by-play announcer Matt McConnell and analyst Tyson Nash. McConnell has seven years of experience with the Coyotes while Nash will make it a decade next season.
