QCSportsNet.com & Fox Sports Radio 1230 Bring High School Hoops to Radio

Only QC media outlets with live high school sports play-by-play in 2018-19

QCSportsNet.com, the leading provider of live high school sports play-by-play in the Quad Cities, is teaming up with Fox Sports Radio 1230, WFXN, to bring live coverage of high school basketball to fans of Quad Cities schools in the 2018-19 season. QCSportsNet and WFXN are the only media outlets in the Quad Cities scheduled to carry live high school sports play-by-play.

“With football and boys and girls basketball, we’ll be carrying about 200 live games this upcoming season,” said QCSportsNet president Ken Jacoby. “We’re excited for the opportunity to reach even more fans with some of our basketball games on Fox Sports Radio 1230.”

The exact schedule is to be determined, but Jacoby said, “The number of games on the radio this upcoming season will definitely be in double figures.”

Ron Evans, program director of Fox Sports Radio 1230, said, “We’re pleased to bring high school basketball back to FOX Sports Radio 1230. It’s the perfect addition to our lineup of live sports coverage, including Green Bay Packers football, Fighting Illini football and basketball and Quad City metro high school football.”

All games that are aired on Fox Sports Radio 1230 will also be heard on QCSportsNet.com.

QCSportsNet.com has grown each year since the 2015-16 season, and now will carry live play-by-play of all regular season football and boys basketball games and specially selected girls basketball games for five schools: Rock Island, Moline, United Township, Bettendorf, and Pleasant Valley. In addition, QCSportsNet.com will have live post-season coverage of all teams involved from those five schools.
