In addition to the 790 WKRD broadcast, Bats fans will also be able to access live broadcasts via the Bats website at www.batsbaseball.com.

"We are thrilled to add the Louisville Bats Play-by-Play coverage to our exciting roster of sports on WKRD," said Kevin Hughes, Clear Channel Market Manager. "We look forward to continuing our long and rewarding relationship with the Louisville Bats ownership and management."

Once again bringing fans all the action of Bats games in 2007 will be the broadcast team of Jim Kelch and Matt Andrews. Kelch returns for his 19th season with Louisville with 2007 being Andrews' fifth with the Bats.
