BILOXI, MS - The Biloxi Shuckers are happy to announce that Cruisin' WGCM-AM will return as the flagship station for a fourth season in 2018. All 140 Shuckers games, home and road, along with Tuesday's exhibition game against William Carey will be broadcast live on 1240 AM and 100.9 FM.

"We're thrilled to, yet again, be working with Coast Radio Group and to have Shuckers games on WGCM this season," said Shuckers Broadcaster and Media Relations Manager Garrett Greene. "Lisa Stiglets, Dave Johnson and everyone at Coast Radio Group have given us another great opportunity to bring Shuckers baseball to fans all along the Mississippi Gulf Coast."

Broadcasts will begin 15 minutes prior to first pitch and will include a postgame show, featuring scores and news from around the Brewers Minor League system, the Southern League and Major League Baseball.

"Coast Radio Group is a local, family owned and operated company, and we are encouraged by the growing popularity of Shuckers Baseball as a way for families to spend quality time together," said Coast Radio Group General Manager Lisa Stiglets. "We are thrilled about being the Shuckers flagship station for the fourth consecutive year on Cruisin' WGCM AM 1240, 100.9 FM, online at WGCMAM.COM and the WGCM AM app."

Garrett Greene begins his first season as the Voice of Biloxi Shuckers and his third in professional baseball. Greene spent last summer as the Director of Broadcasting and Media Relations with the Helena Brewers (Advanced Rookie, Brewers) in the Pioneer League. Spencer Siegel will join Greene on the play-by-play for home games and select road games, and will host the pregame and postgame shows all season. Siegel enters his first year with the Shuckers and seventh in professional baseball, after working in the Florida State League for the past two seasons.
