MARION, Ill. – The Southern Illinois Miners and Clear Channel Radio have renewed a deal that will have all 96 Miners games broadcast live on WQUL-FM 97.7 The Bear for the second year in a row.
“It was great for The Bear to be the flagship station for Miners games during the inaugural season,” Clear Channel General Manager Jerry Crouse said. “This is a successful partnership we hope to continue for years to come.”
Radio announcer Scott Gierman will call the play-by-play for every game as well as host the pre-game and post-game shows. It will be his first season as the voice of the Miners.
“The Bear’s coverage area perfectly matches the footprint of our fan base,” Miners General Manager Tim Arseneau said. “We had tremendous listenership last season. It was unbelievable to walk into a restaurant and hear our games being played over the restaurant’s sound system.”
Miners fans can pick up The Bear on their radios from Franklin, Hamilton, Jackson, Jefferson, Johnson, Perry, Saline, and Williamson Counties.
The Miners open the season on the radio against the Gateway Grizzlies on May 21. The home opener is scheduled for Saturday, May 24 at 7:05 p.m. For the latest Miners news and updates, visit www.southernillinoisminers.com.
