Talk Station the New Flagship Home for Rutgers Football in Philly and South Jersey
PISCATAWAY, N.J. (July 23, 2010) – The Rutgers Football Radio Network has added 97.5
FM The Fanatic as a full-time member to its network, joining WOR-710 AM in New
York City and WCTC-1450 AM in New Brunswick. With the addition of 97.5 The
Fanatic, Philadelphia’s first FM sports talk station, all of Rutgers’ football
games will be available to listen over the radio dial throughout the entire
state of New Jersey, along with two of the nation’s largest media markets, New
York City and Philadelphia.
“This
is the beginning of a great partnership between Rutgers Football and 97.5 The
Fanatic,” said Rutgers Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Tim Pernetti.
“Rutgers Football will continue to reach two of the nation’s top four media
markets with our game broadcasts in this exciting expansion of the Rutgers
Football Radio Network.”
The
first FM sports radio talk station in Philadelphia launched in the fall of
2009. With the addition of Rutgers Football to the lineup in 2010, 97.5 FM will
occasionally include guests from Rutgers football on their sports talk
programming, including Rutgers head football coach Greg Schiano.
Rutgers
fans in South Jersey and Philadelphia will be able to listen to 30 minutes of
the pre-game and post-game shows surrounding Rutgers’ game broadcasts on 97.5
FM.
The
voice of the Scarlet Knights, Chris Carlin, returns as the play-by-play
announcer in 2010. He will be joined by former NFL quarterback and former
Scarlet Knight standout Ray Lucas (color analyst) and Anthony Fucilli (sideline
reporter) on the radio network.
The Scarlet Knights return 14 starters and 45
letterwinners from last season’s 9-4 squad that won the St. Petersburg Bowl.
Rutgers is one of four teams in the nation to win four bowl games in the
previous four seasons. In total, the Scarlet Knights have averaged nine wins
per season over the previous four years.
Season tickets for the 2010 season are now on-sale
and are available by calling the Rutgers Ticket Office at 1-866-445-GoRU or
visiting ScarletKnights.com.
Rutgers opens the 2010
campaign Thursday, September 2 at Rutgers Stadium versus Norfolk State. Kickoff
is set for 7:30 p.m.
