We can’t wait to get started.”

For the 2017 football season, lead announcers will be:

Our announcing alumni include rising young stars such as University of Iowa baseball radio announcer Zach Mackey and Minnesota play by play announcer of the year Mitch Widmeier. We have fun broadcasting our games, but we also place a high value on being reliable, prepared, and connected to the teams we broadcast.

Our broadcast schedule generally covers the following evenings, subject to team schedules.

  • High School football – Friday evenings from late August to late October (regular season) or to mid-November (playoffs)
  • High School boys basketball – Tuesday evenings (Iowa boys and girls), Thursday evenings (Illinois girls), Friday evenings (Iowa boys and girls, Illinois boys), Saturday evenings (Illinois boys) from late November to early March.
