WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – Penn College has renewed its partnership with Talk Williamsport to broadcast home Wildcat athletic events for the 2017-18 season, Penn College Assistant Director of Athletics / Sports Information Director Matt Blymier announced Wednesday.
The coverage provided by Talk Williamsportwill increase this season with weekly coach’s shows for soccer, basketball, baseball, and softball. Additionally, all home conference games for soccer, baseball, and softball will be broadcasted, as well as all home basketball games and select away basketball contests.
“We are thrilled to not only continue our partnership with Fox Sports, but to increase the coverage for our athletic programs,” Blymier said. “As we begin our first year as full NCAA Division III members, it’s crucial to increase the awareness of our institution and our department on a local, regional, and national level.”
All games will be simulcast on WEJS 104.1 FM/1600 AM and foxpsortswilliamsport.com Stream 2. The play-by-play provided by Talk Williamsportwill also be simulcast on Penn College’s High Definition web broadcast of each game. Last year, nearly 5,000 viewers tuned in to Wildcat games online.
“We are pleased to be able to provide Penn College Athletics with their own radio flagship station. Their transition to full Division III member status has been a process we have followed and been fortunate to broadcast since it began,” said Talk Williamsport owner Todd Bartley. “Broadcasting the culmination of those efforts and the quality of the teams is very rewarding for our staff and our company.”
