WGIR will carry UNH games
The University of New Hampshire has announced that WGIR-AM 610 in Manchester will begin carrying UNH sporting events this season.
WGIR will carry all regular-season and postseason football and men's hockey games, as well as selected men's basketball, women's basketball and women's hockey contests. In addition, WGIR will broadcast the UNH coaches shows (football and hockey), which will run on Monday nights throughout the season.
"This is exciting news for New Hampshire fans and radio listeners in southern New Hampshire," UNH athletic director Marty Scarano said. "This is positive in all aspects for all parties involved, including the many loyal listeners and supporters of WGIR-AM."
The Wildcat Sports Network currently has four additional affiliates around the state: WTSN-AM 1270 (Dover/Rochester/Portsmouth); WUVR-AM 1490 (Lebanon); WNTK-FM 99.7 (New London) and WCNL-AM 1010 (Newport). WTSN will serve as the flagship station for the 2008-09 season.
