Camden Riversharks News Release
CAMDEN, NJ ¬"The Camden Riversharks are proud to announce their broadcasting partnership with Burlington County College ¬â¢s Z889 WBZC-FM. The Riversharks ¬â¢ new official radio station will broadcast all of the Riversharks ¬â¢ home games and pre-game shows through their radio station and web-stream.
WBZC has been on the air since 1995 with a main format of Top 40/Dance Music. WBZC has been nominated for Best U.S. Radio Station at this year's International Dance Music Awards which takes place this March.
"We are very extremely pleased to have this partnership." said General Manager, Adam Lorber. "Z889 has such a strong signal all throughout southern New Jersey and will help us expand our presence in this market. This was an opportunity we just couldn ¬â¢t pass up."
Not only will Z889 broadcast the games but will also have an educational tie to the Riversharks. Z889 students will learn the broadcasting field with hands on experience from the Riversharks ¬â¢ very own Tim Saunders.
