Radio Hofstra University (WRHU 88.7-FM), the school's radio station, would carry the games, and actually give the team its strongest radio signal in five years.
For the past two seasons, the Long Island Radio Group carried the Islander games on WMJC-FM (94.3) and WHLI (1100-AM). Last season, the Isles simulcast their TV broadcast over the radio.
This arrangement would not only give the Isles a better signal, it would likely save them money, as teams usually pay stations to carry their games.
According to the report, Chris King, the Islanders' radio voice, could still work the games, but there's a chance Hofstra students could work intermission reports and could also serve as color commentators during games. Students may also get the chance to work the technical end of the broadcast.
