12 games vs. 162 games yearly, seems like the team playing fewer games would garner more interest and a bigger listening audience coupled with the Rays are dead man walking, if not to Montreal than some town that will show them even the faintest of interest  build them a stadium so Stu can get even filthier rich.

ATHLETICS AND IHEARTMEDIA STRIKE PARTNERSHIP

July 31, 2019

 

 

 

WDAE Radio becomes the new home of USF football broadcasts;
Bulls Unlimited digital radio expands to two channels

TAMPA, JULY 31, 2019 – USF Athletics and IHeartMedia & Entertainment, Inc. will start a new partnership beginning in the 2019-20 season that will make WDAE (95.3 & 96.7 FM/620 AM), the highest rated sports station in the Tampa Bay region, the home of USF football radio broadcasts and expand USF's popular "Bulls Unlimited" digital radio offering to two channels on iHeart Radio.
 
"We are very excited to be partnering with one of the most widely listened to sports stations in the state to bring USF football games to our fans and expand our groundbreaking digital platform," Vice President of Athletics Michael Kelly said. "WDAE is synonymous with sports in the Bay area and we look forward to a tremendous partnership that will continue to expand the USF brand and help connect more fans with the excitement of our Bulls sports teams."
 
The three-year agreement will begin this fall with WDAE airing USF football games live on three stations that simulcast the WDAE signal – 95.3 FM, 96.7 FM and 620 AM. All Bulls football games will be carried on the WDAE stations except when conflicts arise with Tampa Bay Rays baseball games. When Rays game conflicts exist, USF football games will air on WHNZ 1250 AM over the air and continue to be carried on the "Bulls Unlimited" iHeart Radio channel.
 
"We are thrilled to welcome USF to the iHeartMedia family," Market President Chris Soechtig said.  "Having a partnership with Tampa Bay's home team on 95.3 WDAE further solidifies our commitment to deliver exceptional local sports coverage to our listeners.  We are counting down the days to kick off!"    
 
As part of the new iHeartMedia agreement, USF will expand its popular digital radio outlet to two "Bulls Unlimited" channels, allowing much greater bandwidth and flexibility in carrying game broadcasts and other programming surrounding USF's 19 sports teams. The "Bulls Unlimited" digital channel on iHeart Radio, which launched in 2017 as just the second digital radio channel in college athletics, will continue to carry all football games and will become the primary home of USF men's and women's basketball and baseball broadcasts. WDAE will carry broadcasts of some postseason contests involving USF basketball and baseball over the air.
 
WDAE will also broadcast the USF Football Radio Show on a weekly basis throughout the season as well as the last hour of the pregame show and a 30-minute postgame show during football game broadcasts. The first hour of the Bulls' traditional two-hour football pregame show will air exclusively on "Bulls Unlimited."
 
The two "Bulls Unlimited" stations on iHeart Radio will continue to carry 24/7 digital streaming of USF Athletics content, including live game broadcasts across several sports and coaches shows. Programing on "Bulls Unlimited" also includes the Bulls Beat daily show, original programming such as Archive Room, Around The American and Upon Further Review, and replays of current season contests and classic games.  
 
To Access Bulls Unlimited, download the iHeart Radio app and search "USF."   A desktop link is also available HERE. Be sure to follow @BullsUnlimited on Twitter for the daily schedule and any big Bulls news.

I don't know as I am an out of stater (and I cannot access my game notes from last season), but were the MBB and WBB games carried over the air last year?  Sounds like no radio coverage at all this season.  Strictly streaming, part of the deal?

Its about **** time this has happened and it should have happened years ago.  I am getting a big kick out of the Gators being kicked off of the station in Tampa.  This is Bulls Country!!

I relish watching NEB live on past accomplishments, it's a beautiful thing!  Coincidentally, I watching the Rays beat the Red Sox, too.
