Gateway Grizzlies News Release
The Gateway Grizzlies are proud to announce a continued partnership with 590 The Fan KFNS. The Grizzlies and KFNS have agreed to a two-year contract, keeping all Grizzlies games on the 590 AM airwaves through 2013. The 2012 season will mark the third year of Grizzlies games on the Webster Groves, MO based radio station.
"We are fortunate to have such a great partnership with KFNS," Grizzlies General Manager Steve Gomric said. "It gives our fans a great resource to keep close tabs on the Grizzlies when they can't attend games in person, especially when the team's on the road."
Grizzlies play-by-play broadcaster Adam Young returns for his second season as the team's lead broadcaster on the Grizzlies Radio Network. Young, 23, broadcasts college basketball in the off-season at SIU Edwardsville. Young teams up with former Grizzlies Voice, Joe Pott. Select SIUE basketball games air on KFNS.
"This is a great opportunity once again for the Grizzlies," Young said. "KFNS is a top-notch sports station and we are excited to be on their airwaves in 2012 and beyond. Dave Greene and everyone at KFNS are great to work with. We are thrilled to keep them as the flagship station on the Grizzlies Radio Network."
KFNS offers Grizzlies fans other opportunities to listen to games, including KFNS.com and the KFNS app on cell phones.
1400 AM KJFF in Festus, MO stays as the affiliate station on the Grizzlies Radio Network. KJFF will air nearly all 96 Grizzlies games once again in 2012.
The Grizzlies open their season on May 18th against the reigning Frontier League Champion, Joliet Slammers. The first broadcast on the Grizzlies Radio Network will be an Exhibition game on Sunday, May 13th, when the Grizzlies host the River City Rascals. Season and Group tickets are on sale now by calling 618.337.3000.
