Social Timeline: Sounders FC gets on the TV with new broadcast agreements

Sigi Q13 0212

Thursday was a pretty big day for Sounders FC. The club and broadcast partner Q13 FOX announced an extension of their partnership live on the morning news, with Head Coach Sigi Schmid making an appearance, as well as new right back Tyrone Mears. A full release of the news and all additional broadcast partnerships can be found here.


The announcement was given by Q13 anchor Bill Wixey, who along with fellow anchor Kaci Aitchison rocked a Sounders FC scarf and looked great on a set that was decked out in Rave Green and Sounders Blue. Following the announcement, Aaron Levine interviewed Schmid about the upcoming season, the club's mentality and how preseason has been going. Later in the hour, Mears tried his hand at doing the weather, which made for some great soundbites. In other words, it was a very entertaining morning.


If you missed any of the social fun (and there was lots of it), here's a quick little rundown of everything that went down at the studio in Westlake.

Wonder what it could be!

Q13 getting in on the fun. Lots of fun interaction.

Looking good in that scarf, Aaron.

More scarves!

As I do, a little hello is always in order.

Sigi looking sharp. Wanted the duster…but still a very good look.

Alright, a few more scarves. NEVER TOO MANY SCARVES!

Then Sigi went on with Aaron for his little live interview spot. Couple of pros.
