State football games are covering the state this year
on the State Farm Bobcat Radio Network. |
| "Montana
State's 13-station network reaches all four corners of
the state, and features stations in markets in which the
Bobcats haven't been present for several years," said
Taylor Brown, '79 AnSci, of the Northern Broadcasting
System (NBS). NBS and Clear Channel Radio-Bozeman have
built the Network. |
| The
NBS will distribute MSU football and men's basketball
games for the next three years, with Bozeman's KXLB-FM
serving as the flagship station. |
| "We're
pleased to be able to take Bobcat Athletics to a large
portion of the state of Montana," Brown said. "This is
a very strong network, and I think it's significant that
we've reached into several markets that we haven't been
in for a number of years." |
| Brown
urged MSU fans throughout the state to actively support
the network. |
| "It's
important that those of us who are Bobcats understand
that these stations have many programming choices, and
the best way to ensure that they will continue to carry
Bobcat games is for people to thank their hometown stations
with a note or a phone call," he said. "It's also important
for people who can to place advertising dollars inside
Bobcat games to support the broadcasts in that way." |
| MSU
athletic director Peter Fields said one of his priorities
since beginning at Bobcat Athletics in May has been to
enhance the program's exposure in Montana. "This is a
tremendously strong network, both in terms of area covered
and in the number of potential listeners," he said. "This
should answer the concerns of some of the Bobcats I met
while traveling the state this spring and summer about
radio availability. I'm excited that Northern Broadcasting
and Clear Channel have been able to build a network this
strong in such a short period of time." |
