NBC Sports Radio makes debut; three area stations pick up network's programming

WNTC gets whole weekday network package, while WTCJ and WYFX offer only select programming

The new NBC Sports Radio is making its debut across the country today with 178 affiliates, three of them in the Tri-State.  However, not all three will offer all the programming produced by the new network.

WNTC-103.9 FM (Drakesboro, Ky.) will offer the full weekday package - sports updates, The Erik Kuselias Show, Amani & Eytan and The Dan Schwartzman Show - but not Safety Blitz with Rodney Harrison, which will air on weekends.

The other area stations which are now part of the network include WYFX-106.7 FM (Mt. Vernon, Ind.), which will carry Harrison's weekend show, and WTCJ-1230 AM (Tell City, Ind.), which is slated to broadcast sports updates and Amani & Eytan.

The Eric Kuselias Show premieres tonight and will air from 6 to 9 p.m. CT.  Amani & Eytan, which is hosted by former NFL wide receiver Amani Toomer and Eytan Shander, is the network's late-night offering, airing from 9 p.m. to midnight CT.  The Dan Schwartzman Show airs overnights from midnight to 4 a.m. CT.

“This is a great day in sports radio and we’re proud to have 178 affiliates share it with us,” said Chris Corcoran, the network's executive VP and general manager. Our main goal from day one has been to deliver great content for radio stations and we are excited to finally hit the field and play.”

Outside the immediate Tri-State area, several other stations around the region will also carry either all or part of the NBC Sports Radio lineup.  They are:
  • WNDE-1260 AM (Indianapolis, Ind.)
  • KYRO-1280 AM and WPMB-1500 AM (St. Louis/Troy, Mo./Vandalia, Ill.)
  • WNSR-560 AM and WPTN-780 AM (Nashville/Brentwood/Cookeville, Tenn.)
