The Evansville IceMen announced on Wednesday that their radio network is growing once again.
Our local hockey team, which is preparing for its debut season in the ECHL and as an affiliate of the NHL Columbus Blue Jackets and St. Louis Blues, will now be heard on WLME-102.7 FM (102.7 The Game, Lewisport/Owensboro, Ky.) and WVLN-740 AM (Olney, Ill.), in addition to returning flagship station WEOA-1400 AM (Evansville), WMSK-1550 AM (Morganfield, Ky.) and WITZ-990 AM/104.7 FM (Jasper/Huntingburg, Ind.).
WEOA is also in the process of adding a new FM translator - 98.5 FM - which will also carry the games and all of the station's other programming. When the new WEOA-98.5 FM goes on the air, the IceMen will be heard on FM in Evansville for the first time.
All of the network stations will carry all of the team's games except WITZ-AM and FM, which will carry a select number of contests that have yet to be determined.
Game broadcasts will consist of a 30-minute pre-game show, full play-by-play action and the IceMen Star of the Game Show immediately following all home games. All games (both home and away) will feature a full post-game program.
In addition to the game broadcasts, the IceMen will return their other popular radio programs starting Sept. 24. IceMen Live returns to its regular time of 7 to 9 p.m. each Monday night starting that night, and the daily IceMen Hockey Update will begin airing on 16 different stations - including some new affiliates - across the Tri-State (see list below).
All IceMen broadcasts will be anchored by Terry "Fic" Ficorelli, the Voice of the IceMen, who is beginning his 39th year calling professional hockey action.
The IceMen will make their preseason debut on the ice early next month as they rekindle their rivalry with the Fort Wayne Komets in a weekend pair of games on Saturday, Oct. 6 at 6:30 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 7 at 4 p.m. Broadcasts for those games will begin at 6 p.m. for the Saturday night contest and 3:30 p.m. for the Sunday game.
