1490 AM to Broadcast NSU Football Games and Pete Adrian Show


2013 Football Radio Broadcast Schedule
NORFOLK, Virginia --  The Norfolk State University athletics department announced Tuesday that it has agreed with Local Voice Media to broadcast all 12 Spartan football games and the Pete Adrian Coach's Show on 1490 AM The Game this fall.

In addition, the season-opener against the University of Maine will also be carried on 1490's sister station, 102.1 FM. All 12 games will be audio streamed live at www.1490amthegame.com and simulcast on the NSU campus radio station, 91.1 FM.

1490 AM will also carry the Pete Adrian Coach's Show on Thursdays from 7-8 p.m. The show will be aired in a tape-delay format at 9 p.m. on 102.1 FM the same night. The only exception is the season kickoff show, which will air from 6:30-7:30 p.m. on 1490 AM on Thursday, Aug. 29.

This will be NSU's fourth straight year being affiliated with 1490 AM The Game and its sister station, 102.1 FM. Local Voice Media purchased the two stations earlier this month from Red Zebra broadcasting. 1490 AM will remain in an all-sports format, while 102.1 FM has switched to a Triple-A music format.

"We are happy to announce this partnership with Local Voice," said Matt Michalec, NSU's assistant athletics director for communications. "We are excited about their commitment to building a local audience for their stations and their enthusiasm about Spartan football."

Local Voice Media began in Williamsburg and now includes a classical station, 107.9 BACHfm, an online-only daily newspaper Williamsburg Yorktown Daily (known by the shorthand WYDaily.com) and the Save30 Store for discounted gift certificates to local businesses. Local Voice Media specializes in combining online newspapers powered by their hometown radio stations, which led to its expansion to Wilmington, N.C., with a five-station cluster and the online daily Port City Daily (PortCityDaily.com); and to Columbia, S.C., with two radio stations and the launch of the online Cola Daily (ColaDaily.com) in the next several weeks.
