Three area radio stations to carry Nashville's NHL team this season
The Nashville Predators and The Cromwell Group on Monday announced a new five-year extension, keeping all Nashville Predators broadcasts on their flagship station, WPRT-102.5 The Game, through the 2016-17 season. 102.5 The Game has been the home of the Predators since 2010.
In the immediate Tri-State area, three radio stations will carry the Predators' broadcasts - WHOP-1230 AM/95.3 FM (Hopkinsville, Ky.), WNTC-103.9 FM (Drakesboro, Ky.) and WLME-102.7 FM (Lewisport, Ky.). A fourth station, WBGN-1340 AM (Bowling Green, Ky.), can also be heard in the southeasternmost part of the area.
Game broadcasts include a 30-minute pregame show, intermission reports and an hour-long postgame show hosted by Willy Daunic. All postgame shows following home games originate from Bridgestone Arena’s Patrón Platinum Club and are open to all ticketed fans in attendance. In addition to game broadcasts, 102.5 The Game will also host significant Predators shoulder programming including player radio shows, Coffee with the Coach, Extra Crispy and much more.
"We are thrilled to have signed this five-year extension with the Nashville Predators," 102.5 The Game Station Manager Jeff Kolb said. "The Predators organization is first class and to have our team, a perennial Stanley Cup playoff contender, locked in long term is a big deal for us as we build Nashville’s premiere sports station."
"102.5 The Game has been a fantastic partner and a great ambassador for hockey in Middle Tennessee," Predators Executive Vice President Chris Parker said. “Their dedicated broadcasts and shoulder programming keep the Predators on the airwaves and on people’s minds on a consistent basis. We are thrilled to be extending our strong partnership with Cromwell and look forward to an even more exciting partnership in the future.”
Former Preds enforcer Stu Grimson rejoins the broadcast team as the radio Color Analyst, joining radio play-by-play announcer Tom Callahan. This will be Grimson’s first full-time season as a member of the Preds broadcast team. He and Callahan will call the radio action for every Nashville Predators game.
"Stu is a tremendous addition to our broadcast team,” Predators senior director of broadcasting Bob Kohl said. "As a former player, Stu has the ability to uniquely combine expert analysis and terrific insight with his engaging personality. His style is a perfect complement to partner Tom Callahan’s sharp play-by-play. This team is yet another great addition to Nashville’s thriving hockey culture."
