Radio Deal Announced
October 30, 2004 - American Basketball Association (ABA)
New Jersey SkyCats News Release
The expansion New Jersey Jaguars of the American Basketball Association have announced an agreement with WVNJ - 1160 AM to be the exclusive local radio home for the franchise. The station will air live coverage of all 18 home games, to be played at the newly-constructed Bill Bradley Center on the campus of Ramapo College.
WVNJ, based in nearby Oakland, NJ, has a 20,000 watt signal which primarily covers the northern New Jersey and Rockland and Westchester counties in New York. The signal may be heard in other areas of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut as well.
According to team spokesman Adam Colaizzi "We are very happy to have come to an agreement with WVNJ. As a first-year franchise, it has been important to us from the beginning that we make every effort to bring our team and league to the basketball fans in Northern Jersey, many of whom are looking for an alternative to the NBA for a variety of reasons. We hope to fill that need, and the coverage we will receive from WVNJ is an important step in that direction. WVNJ promotes itself as the 'Station of the Stars,' and we look forward to our team and players bringing another dimension to that reputation.
"We are currently retooling our website, and hope to unveil some other exciting news items in the very near future, including our opening day roster. Owner/head coach Ron Eford has been overseeing training camp for over two weeks, and should have the roster cut down to the final list shortly."
The home opener for the Jaguars will be Sunday, December 5 at 5:00 against Harlem. For more information about WVNJ, go to their website at www.wvnj.com, and log on to www.JerseyJaguars.com for the latest news on the New Jersey Jaguars.
Note: OurSports Central no longer actively covers the American Basketball Association (ABA) as a professional league due in part to its inability to publish and play a schedule and the transitory nature of many of its teams.
