## Broadcasting

WGWE/Little Valley, NY was the broadcast home of the team from 2014 until the station shut down in 2021. WGWE's morning host (Mike Smith from 2014 to 2016, and Chris Russell from 2016 to 2021) served as play-by-play voice throughout that time frame. In 2024, the team announced that WBRR/Bradford, Pennsylvania would serve as the team's flagship, with Russell returning; games not heard on WBRR would be carried on student radio station WSBU with student announcers. The university also signed an agreement with YES Network to televise four games, with streaming rights to those games held by the "Gotham Sports App" joint venture between YES and MSG Networks.
