From a press release I just received from Bisig Impact Group....

 

"St. Xavier High School and The Bisig Impact Group have announced a partnership to carry St. X athletics worldwide on the Bisig Impact Sports Radio Network through 2011.

This will include football, basketball, baseball, as well as the Jefferson County High School Football Playoffs, and the KHSAA State Football Championships. The arrangement, which includes Clear Channel Radio, is considered unique among high school sports programs around the country."

 

This includes WKRD 790 AM radio in Louisville, along with the world wide web.

 

DISCLOSURE--I work for Clear Channel and am posting this as information only

They are going to cover baseball games as well??? Wow...

That is pretty cool news! A radio network that will match the facilities!

Will they have improved announcers also?

Will they have improved announcers also?

 

 

X has homer announcers just like Trinity.

We already had to delete some posts and we are not going to let this turn into another X vs. T our thread is bigger than your thread debate.

X has homer announcers just like Trinity.

 

Sorry, I meant professional announcers from Clear Channel. Not meant to be a knock on the current super duo.

Will WKRD cover the playoffs and finals even if St. X is knocked out of the competition?

I actually have some knowledge of sports radio broadcasting so I'll answer..

First, it's high school football NOT college or NFL.

Second, Pro-announcers can be VERY expensive and again it's high school football also the cost of producing high sports progamming is more expensive than people think.

Third, because it is high school football you want someone who is very familiar with the program as well as someone has history with the program. If look at almost all high school sports radio programs the play-by-play, color and field guy are usually alums of the school.

Good job Tigers....! I say make a play for Paul Horning, Chris Montgomery and Bill Glaser in the booth! ... and Bob Dominie on the sidelines....

I checked and was told the playoffs are broadcast regardless if St. X is in it or not. Also, some games will be broadcast on WKJK 1080 AM but it just depends on availability of the station.

I take it the answer to my question is no.
