KNOXVILLE, TN - The Knoxville Smokies have announced that 92.5 WKCE will serve as the flagship station of the Knoxville Smokies. The station will air the majority of Smokies games and potential playoff games for the 2025 season on 92.5 FM and/or on the WKCE stream/app.
WKCE is a radio station owned by Loud Media, a locally owned company that is focused on serving Knoxville area listeners and advertisers with unique radio broadcast and digital platforms.
"We are so very excited to partner with the Knoxville Smokies and for WKCE to become the official radio home of this phenomenal team" said Loud Media owner Aaron Ishmael, "Being able to deliver broadcasts of all the Smokies games via our station, website, and app is a dream come true."
Mick Gillispie will handle the play-by-play duties for broadcasts as the "Voice of the Smokies." Gillispie has been the lead announcer for Smokies Baseball since 2007. He will be joined by Richie Juliano, in his third season with the Smokies.
