Lane County Boosts Radio Coverage of Beaver Athletics
May 19, 1998
Corvallis, Ore. -
Oregon State University will have increased coverage of its football and mens basketball contests, thanks to announcement Tuesday by KCGR-FM/KNND-AM General Manager Diane ORenick and OSU Director of Broadcasting Darrell Aune. The one-year contract begins this year.
Beaver football has aired on KNND (1400 AM) for a decade, but will now air on its sister station KCGR (100.5 FM). In addition to 11 football games, ORenick has agreed to carry all 27 of the Beaver mens basketball regular season games.
"We feel this improves the opportunity for Lane County residents to enjoy Beaver football and mens basketball," ORenick said. "This move should fill a void in this area with regards to Oregon State University athletics.
KCGR-FM, which has an easy listening music format from the 1970s, 80s, and 90s, is one of 18 stations on the Beaver Sports Network as of May 19.
"Im very excited about the addition of KCGR to our network," Aune said. "This will improve our coverage in this area immensely."
