February 27, 2007 - Arena Football League (1987-2008) (AFL I)
New Orleans VooDoo News Release
The New Orleans VooDoo announced a broadcasting agreement with Entercom New Orleans to broadcast all games - both home and away - Bayou 95.7 FM, and to broadcast a weekly coach's show on WWL-AM 870. This continues a partnership with Entercom that has continued through the club's three-season history.
As part of this new, multi-faceted agreement, Bayou 95.7 FM will become the "flagship station" for VooDoo games. Included in the game broadcasts will be a 30-minute pre-game show, as well as a 30-minute post-game show. Kenny Wilkerson will handle play-by-play duties, while various New Orleans Saints personnel and players will serve as guest color analysts. Wilkerson, who hosts a weekly radio show on 870 AM and handles sideline duties for all Saints games, will also host the weekly coach's show with VooDoo Head Coach Mike Neu.
"Entercom has been a tremendous leader in our community and the VooDoo are proud to have our games broadcast on the premier radio platform in our region," said VooDoo Owner/Executive Vice President Rita Benson LeBlanc. "We feel this partnership will provide the best possible coverage of VooDoo football for our fans - before, during and after the game and continuing throughout the week."
"I'm excited about becoming the Voice of the Voodoo, and having the games on Bayou 95.7," said Wilkerson. "This amps up the whole season. It's a big FM signal that reaches all over the region, and classic rockers are football fans. It's a perfect marriage of rock & roll and football.
In addition to serving as broadcast partner of the New Orleans VooDoo, Entercom currently broadcasts all Saints games on WWL-AM, as well as a weekly coach's show and front office show.
