It is time now to talk to Chris Egan.
So Chris, you had a busy
day today. Well, I'm feel
a little down that I'm not Richard Sherman
though you know I feel a little jealous.
Yeah, I feel a little jealous
but you know he's sure and he'll
bring the Seahawks their first
and only Super Bowl championship.
So it was a great time and this
Angela is a great time for King five
TV for new day for the Seahawks.
As we begin this multi year partnership
with the Seahawks become the team's
official local television partner starting.
This season it's going to be great stuff.
Now what does this mean
for the audience? Well,
KING5 will have exclusive broadcast
rights for Seahawks preseason games.
There will be 3 preseason games this year,
2 on the road, one at home.
Those games will be on Kong and KING5 TV
and also exclusive weekly shows KING5's
going to continue the fifth quarter.
That's Sunday nights after Sunday

But with that partnership
comes exclusive interviews,

kind of behind the scenes stuff, Angela that.
You won't find anywhere else,
and there's also now going to be a
new show called Seahawks Central.
It will air 9:30 on Kong TV

It's going to be some fun stuff
there. Was it? I work here and I'm
still just like what this happening.
I know so we haven't
and a lot of it is unveiling as we go.
So this is all coming out today so
we're finding that they kept this
secret pretty good cause I you know,
I'm here at 2:00 AM and I'm just getting
some of this information. This morning,
yeah, so we have an enhanced fifth
quarter and all new show this.
This has to make your job a lot more fun.
We always did a great did great
work covering sports, but this is
when you get to become a partner
with the Seattle Seahawks.
I mean the the twelves,
the the dancers Blue Thunder,
I mean it it it's more
than just a football team.
This is a community that comes together.
This this team I tell you what
Angela the players come and go
but the 12 best fans in the world
and So what I'm wearing today
and it's going to be so much fun.
Partner up with the twelves.
OK, let's handle a little business too.
OK, in addition to this big
news but draft is over.
We've seen some rookies at camp.
What are you expecting from the
Seahawks this coming season?
Going into the draft, everybody said,
well, the Seahawks that they need to.
They need a better offensive line.
We we need some cornerbacks and we need
some edge rushers, so John Schneider,
general manager of the Seahawks,
he went out there and he took care of
this drafted 2 great offensive tackles.
One of the first round,
and then picked up Abe Lucas from
Washington State University.
Went to Archbishop Murphy.
So this is a local kid now
on the Seattle Seahawks.
They got some fantastic
and rush edge rushers.
Go get the other cornerback and
and we got some great players
in the secondary as well too.
So they checked out every need they wanted.
Is there anything else
that you're looking at?
Well, I think a lot of people
keep asking the question you know who's
gonna be the quarterback on this team?
Yeah, that's a bit of drama
and Andrew Luck right now.
You know, he, he's the quarterback
that we picked up in that trade
that sent a former player to Denver.
I can't remember his name.
Help me out there,
but we sent somebody to.
Forever and I was gonna wear that Jersey
jersey and I'm like wait a
minute that cannot wear.
You picked a good jersey today
so in the end you're gonna see
a team when you look back.
Angela to that team that went to the
Super Bowl and was that Super Bowls.
It was all about defense.
It was all about running the ball
and that's what Pete Carroll and
John Snyder are getting back to.
Let's get a great offensive line.
Let's run the ball and let's
play a lot of defense.
OK, well Chris, I know it's been an
exciting morning for you in a long one.
I am so excited.
