Does anyone know if this weekend's game is going to be broadcast on radio here in Cols?

Thanks

I literally, minutes ago, just got a tip that WTPG 1230 in Columbus has been added to the network. Can anyone else confirm?

I know they had the BG v. Wisconsin game.

Just as a point of reference the Columbus Alumni Assoc is having viewing parties at BW3s on Cherrybottom for the CMU game, Junction in Hilliard for the Miami game, and Winking Lizard for the Toledo match. Sadly I think I'll probably miss all of them as I'll be at the games.

Zak,
You're not the one who should be sad...the "watch party" group should be sad....not going to see their alma mater in person. Understand the CMU reluctance, but Columbus to Toledo isn't exactly a 2 day trip! :roll:

I read in the Dispatch this morning that 1230 has picked up BG football for the 2006 season. Good news for all of us in Columbus!

Very good news. They didn't happen to pick up Capital football too did they? Because last year that cut into Falcon football quite a bit.

According to the Game release, WTPG 1230 AM has signed a 2 year deal to carry Falcon Football in Columbus...replacing WVKO AM. The affiliate lineup has changed to eliminate overlapping signals and add a more powerful presence in Cbus.

Good news for Falcon fans in the land of the Evil Empire. :-D

There is also the small matter about WVKO going out of business and no longer being on the air at all.

:-D

I'm really glad we are still on the air in Columbus. After our home turf and Cleveland, this is the next important market.
