If I read this correctly, at 100,000 watts coverage should not be a problem.  WAY TO GO JARED!!!!

This is awesome news. Now I don't have to drive around listening to SMU games when I'm at work.

Glad to see that. The Freak could use the listeners. They have a few ex UNT guys on staff. Some of the radio hosts are from the Ticket.

Need to work on getting men's basketball games on KEGL too!   KHYI is not strong enough to cover the whole Metroplex.

Quote

Football broadcasts are led by a familiar voice in North Texas alumnus and two-time Emmy-award winner, Dave Barnett, who handles play-by-play. Barnett enters his ninth year as the "Voice of the Mean Green" and is joined by color analyst Hank Dickenson, who is in his 28th year as a member of the UNT broadcast team.

Mavs will likely boot Football off The Freak a couple of times in the fall once they start play in October. Trying to coordinate basketball would be a nightmare. Like Mosley said, its not ideal having every other game broadcast on a different station.
