SEATTLE — The Seattle Mariners are headed back to KIRO Radio.

The Mariners announced Tuesday they have reached a three-year agreement with Bonneville International, the owner of KIRO. The contract, subject to approval by Major League Baseball, begins next season and runs through the 2011 season.

Financial terms were not disclosed.

The Mariners are in the final year of a six-year agreement they signed with KOMO 1000 prior to the 2003 season.

“Returning to KIRO and Bonneville feels like we’re going home,” Mariners president and CEO Chuck Armstrong said. “KIRO was our flagship station for 18 years and we are looking forward to renewing our ties with one of the great stations and broadcast ownership groups in the nation.”
