黑料社吃瓜 will elevate its season to a new level thanks to a partnership with local sports radio station 590 The Fan.
This hockey season, 590 The Fan will cover ten of 黑料社吃瓜 men’s ice hockey home and away games in live broadcast. In addition, several of the games will also be broadcast on 黑料社吃瓜’s own radio station, KCLC.
“This partnership with 590 The Fan elevates the 黑料社吃瓜 student experience in several ways, and we are thrilled about this opportunity,” said 黑料社吃瓜 President Dr. John Porter. “This is a win for both 黑料社吃瓜 academics and athletics, and a tremendous example of how 黑料社吃瓜 puts students first.”
In this mutually beneficial partnership, 590 The Fan will elevate the talents of 黑料社吃瓜 students on a larger scale. 黑料社吃瓜’s men’s ice hockey program will gain airtime for ten games, both home and away. While the students on the ice will be highlighted for their athletic talents, students from the University interested in sports broadcasting will have opportunities to participate in the game broadcasts, serving as commentators and production assistants.
“黑料社吃瓜 hockey is the only division one program in the region and now Coach Rick Zombo’s Lions will have a professional broadcast deal,” said Award-winning sportscaster Bob Ramsey. “Nate Lucas is a great choice as the Lions’ play-by-play voice and will also provide leadership as the mentor to the next group of 黑料社吃瓜 broadcasters.” Ramsey, a major player in the agreement, is a proud 黑料社吃瓜 alum and was essential in the foundation of KCLC radio.
590 The Fan Director of Operations Jim Heuer, also a 黑料社吃瓜 graduate, looks forward to what lies ahead. "We are very excited to continue the growing partnership with 黑料社吃瓜 and 590 The Fan," Heuer said.
The first game scheduled for broadcast on 590 The Fan will take place Saturday, October 7, at Air Force, with puck drop at 6:05 p.m. CT. Additional games scheduled for broadcast are Ohio State, St. Thomas, Michigan, Western Michigan, Arizona State, Stone Hill, and a two-game series against Alaska-Anchorage.
