Heart have confirmed that they will continue to broadcast live commentary on Town's home and away games next season. The radio station, formerly SGR FM, signed a three-year deal last summer, but a report a few months ago claimed that they would be pulling out for 2009/10.
However, spokesman John Chittenden confirmed that Heart, who last season featured commentator Mark Scott alongside former Blue Mick Stockwell, will be at all Town's games next season: "We are set to continue with the contract that was signed last summer. Global Radio took over SGR FM and a number of other stations.
"The station was rebranded as Heart and listening figures are pleasing. Listeners are enjoying the feel-good factor that our stations generate.
"And we have had good feedback on our listening figures for Ipswich Town games, which we hope to improve on even more next season.â€Â
Heart have exclusive rights for Town's home matches, while Radio Suffolk are restricted to commentating on away games.
Meanwhile, Town are said to be one of a number of clubs monitoring Hamilton Academical midfielder James McCarthy. The Blues, Everton, Newcastle, Tottenham, Middlesbrough, Wigan, Blackburn, Sunderland and Wolves are all believed to be interested in the 18-year-old PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year, but Celtic and Hamilton are already said to be discussing a move for the highly-rated Irishman.
