Holy Cross football,
men's basketball and women's basketball have a new home on the airwaves this
year, as the Worcester market's number one AM station-WTAG 580AM-is now broadcasting
Crusader athletics.
In addition to the impact locally, the change is also a boon to Crusader fans
all over the country, as all games broadcast on WTAG can be heard live via the
Internet. Fans can access these games via www.wtag.com or
from the Holy Cross Web site. This is a homecoming for Crusader athletics,
as Holy Cross games were broadcast on WTAG for nearly 30 years before moving
to
WNEB in 1986 and then to WWTM in 1989.
"I'm
extremely pleased that we are coming home to WTAG," Holy Cross athletic director
Richard M. Regan Jr. says. "This shows what the local community thinks about
the direction of Holy Cross athletics."
"We're
very happy to add Holy Cross athletics to our airwaves," WTAG Operations Manager
Steve Peck says. "We're Worcester, they're Worcester-it's a perfect fit. The
strength of our signal, combined with internet streaming, will ensure that all
Holy Cross fans and alumni will be able to follow Holy
Cross football and basketball."
WTAG
broadcast all 11 of the Crusaders' football games this fall and will handle a
slate of at least 32 men's and women's basketball games.
Bob Fouracre will handle play-by-play duties for both football and basketball
for the 15th consecutive season. He had a new partner in the football booth this
year, as former Crusader standout Tom Kelleher '88 joined him.
