The radio station known as 750 The Game has added a stronger FM frequency to give listeners another option to catch its all-sports programming.

KXTG, which airs on 750 AM, has started simulcasting on 102.9 FM. The station is the play-by-play home of the Oregon Ducks, Portland Timbers and Seattle Seahawks, as well as several local sports talk shows, including "The Bald Faced Truth," hosted by The Oregonian's John Canzano, that airs noon-3 p.m. on weekday.

"It boosts our power, and basically gives us a heck of a lot more audience," said Mike Ragz, the station's program director who also hosts a weekday 3-7 p.m. show called "The Huddle."

KXTG had been simulcasting on 102.7 FM, but the 102.9 signal is far stronger.

"The 102.7 was basically more of a translator, it wasn't doing much for us," Ragz said. "This one is actually a legit signal that we're getting out there now. We're going to gain a million and a half potential listeners because of it."

The station's programming also is available through its website and a smartphone app.

KXTG also serves as home of the Portland Thunder, NFL (including the 2015 Super Bowl) and NCAA Mens's Basketball Tournament, as well as nationally syndicated weekday shows by Dan Patrick and Jim Rome.
