OXFORD, Ohio - For the 2004-05 campaign, the Miami Sports Network has added two affiliates in WONE Sports One (980-AM) in Dayton and WKKY Country (104.7-FM) in Cleveland. WONE will provide live coverage of all of Miami's football games as well as select men's basketball and HawkTalk broadcasts throughout the year. WKKY becomes MSN's new Cleveland affiliate and will carry all of Miami's football, men's basketball and HawkTalk broadcasts live.
In addition to the flagship station WMOH (1450-AM), Hamilton, Ohio, MSN boasts four other affiliates - 1360 HOMER (1360-AM) in Cincinnati, G-101.3 (101.3-FM) in Richmond, Ind., WVKO (1580-AM) in Columbus and WMUB (88.5-FM) in Oxford. With the addition of two new stations this year, MSN, which is entering its eighth season, reaches all four major media markets in the state for the second consecutive year.
MSN is anchored by Director of Broadcasting Steve Baker who returned to the microphone four years ago as the "Voice of Miami Athletics," following a four-year absence. Baker served as Miami's play-by-play announcer for a decade from the mid-1980's to 1997.
Assisting in the booth and providing color commentary is former WKRC-TV sports anchor Tim Bray, who now serves as the director of media relations for the Kentucky Speedway. A 1978 graduate of Bowling Green State University, Bray has been associated with MAC football since 1975, working on the MAC's Television and Radio Games of the Week. In addition to covering the Cincinnati sports scene, Bray has handled radio play-by-play duties for Ohio State, Cincinnati, Xavier and Bowling Green.
Covering the sidelines for MSN is former Miami and Moeller High School quarterback Neil Dougherty. A 1995 graduate, Dougherty posted some of the most prolific passing totals in school history. He is third in all-time passing yardage (4,074) and third in completions (365).
MSN broadcasts are also available on the RedHawks' official web site at www.MURedHawks.com or by accessing TEAMLINE. Official College Sports Network and Real Networks will once again partner to provide the audio streaming for MSN on the internet.
Miami opens its 2004 slate on Saturday, Aug. 28, hosting Indiana State at 7 p.m. Season tickets to all Miami home games are on sale now and can be purchased by calling the Miami athletic ticket office at (513) 529-HAWK.
