The station will go on the air five minutes prior to the games with a pre-game show hosted by local sports broadcaster, Bret Lewis. Bret is a well known sportscaster in Southern California. The community knows him from prior broadcast and he will further attract the community to listen. Bubb had Lewis emcee an event for athletics a few years ago and talked with him about broadcasting for the university. We are really looking forward to becoming more involved in the events that create pride and excitement in our communities.
Basketball is also in the works to be broadcast by the station once the season starts.
When you are a Division I-A team, you market yourselves through media with print, radio and television. Bubb said that the Big Sky Conference also has a TV package with Fox Sports with a game of the week. Currently only Fox Sports Northwest and Arizona are televising all of the conference games. The Matadors are scheduled to be on Fox Sports Oct. 18 versus Montana State and Fox Sports West 2 may carry the game according to Bubb. The conference will benefit from revenue made by the broadcasts and all teams will benefit Bubb said.
