Charlottesville, VA – The University of Virginia athletics department announced today plans to bolster its radio coverage in the Blacksburg and Radford markets by adding an FM station associated with the Sports Addict Radio Network.
WZFM-FM (101.3) joins the Virginia Sports Network’s lineup beginning this fall. The station will carry all UVa programming, including football and basketball games, the Cavalier Minute and Cavalier Call-In, the Monday night talk show with Virginia coaches.
“The addition of this station is important for us,” said Jon Oliver, executive associate director of athletics at UVa. “We are adding a highly-rated, quality FM radio station with a wonderful signal to our broadcast lineup. This is a significant addition in terms of our game day and special programming coverage.”
“The Virginia Cavaliers have a quality sports program and radio network and we welcome the opportunity with open arms,” added Nic Andrews, News and Programming Director for WZFM Cruzin Oldies and Fox News Radio 810 AM. “We feel we can bring a lot to the table in terms of coverage, ratings and promotion. We’re excited about the relationship.”
Virginia kicks off its 2006 football season on September 2 in Pittsburgh, Pa., against the University of Pittsburgh. Virginia Sports Network coverage begins at 6:00pm.
