On Tuesday evening, the Chestnut Hill College Griffins and Talk Williamsport will make history with men’s and women’s basketball broadcasts from Lincoln University.
“Our goal is to provide Chestnut Hill College with high quality broadcasts as we enter the Philadelphia market for the first time”, according to Talk Williamsport Owner and General Manager Todd Bartley.
The games are available on stream 3 on Tuesday night.
In order to achieve the high quality broadcast, Joe Tordy joins Talk Williamsport this fall for these broadcasts. He is also an update anchor for 97.5 The Fanatic in Philadelphia.
Prior to joining Talk Williamsport, Joe served as the General Manager and Lead Play-by-Play Announcer of the Burlington County Sports Network broadcasting high school sports in South Jersey. He was the Broadcasting and Media Relations Manager for the Camden Riversharks baseball team from April of 2013 through May of 2014, producing, engineering, announcing, and hosting all 140 games of the Atlantic League season.
He has also worked the US Tennis Open for US Open.org Radio in 2011 and 2012, and spent time working for the National Hockey League and for Westwood One Radio in New York. He learned the ropes of radio and the art of play-by-play at Fordham University’s WFUV, where he covered and announced both Fordham and New York professional sports. He graduated with a degree in Broadcast Journalism.
He resides in Cherry Hill, New Jersey with his wife, Kathleen.
“As we move forward with Chestnut Hill College it is our intention to provide them with an online stream of their own for future events as we have done for each and every school we have under contract”, Bartley added.
