Bowling Green, Ohio – Falcon Sports Properties (FSP), a property of Learfield Sports and the multimedia rights holder for Bowling Green State University Athletics, announced today that WLQR-AM is the newest addition to the Falcon Sports Network beginning this fall.
FSP secured a three year agreement with WLQR-AM 1470 The Ticket, Toledo's ESPN Radio affiliate, to carry all Falcon football games, as well as a partial men's basketball schedule. The station also will air three-minute daily Falcon updates, in addition to the Falcon Nest Coaches Show. Adding 1470 AM brings the total number of stations in the Falcon Sports Network to seven.
“I am very excited that we have the radio station available to broadcast everything in sports that is the BG Falcons,” said Scott Meier, regional vice president for Cumulus Midwest and market manager. “The Falcons deserve a voice in Toledo, and The Ticket is a great partner.”
“We are thrilled to be working with 1470. For our fans in the Toledo area who can't make it to a game, this gives them the opportunity to follow the Falcons on the airwaves, as well as get a glimpse of our coaches and student-athletes through call-ins and daily updates,” said Mary Ellen Gillespie, BGSU associate athletics director for external affairs. “The Toledo area is a large and active alumni/fan base for BGSU, and they are excited to tune in and hear about their Falcons.”
With the addition of a few new affiliates, the Falcon Radio Network now has six stations carrying BGSU athletics. WFRO 99.1 FM in Fremont carries on as the flagship station for Bowling Green State University Athletics, while WONW 1280 AM in Defiance and WHKW 1220 AM in Cleveland remain affiliate stations. Along with WLQR 1470 AM in Toledo, new stations include WMAN/WNCO 1400 AM and 1340 AM in Mansfield and WKKI 94.3 FM in Celina.
BGSU is one of more than 50 properties represented by Learfield Sports. In addition to managing the multimedia rights for collegiate institutions and associations, the company manages marketing partnerships for the Black Coaches Administrators (BCA) and provides exclusive sports programming to more than 1,000 radio stations throughout the country. It also titles the Learfield Sports Directors' Cup, in partnership with NACDA and USA Today.
