Orlando Radio: WTKS To Air Apollos Football


The Orlando Apollos have announced a partnership with iHeart Media that will bring the Alliance of American Football team’s games to WTKS 104.1 FM.

The Apollos’ 10 regular-season games will feature WKMG-6 sports director Jamie Seh calling the play-by-play, according to The Orlando Sentinel.

Joining Seh on the broadcast team will be longtime ESPN college football analyst Rene Ingoglia and wYGM 96.9 FM drive-time host Jerry O’Neill, known for his work with the station’s coverage of UCF football games.

Seh also will host the Apollos’ weekly radio show featuring head coach Steve Spurrier.

“I am beyond excited and honored to be the ‘Voice of The Orlando Apollos,’” she said in the press release. “To be part of this outstanding broadcast team, having the chance to work with legendary coach Steve Spurrier and the amazing football talent in The Alliance, is like a dream come true. I cannot wait for launch in February and look forward to announcing many, many thrilling moments in the Apollos' inaugural campaign.”

Ingoglia, who’s also an Orlando police officer, calls nationally televised college football games weekly on ESPNU and serves as the network’s studio analyst for the FCS selection and pregame championship shows.

In addition to his work with UCF coverage, O’Neill also hosts “The Finish Line” afternoon radio show with fellow 96.9 personality The Shot Doctor.

Team president Michael Waddell called the crew “a group of talented broadcasters who each bring something special to the broadcast, which will result in a one-of-a-kind sound and an energy level that will be second to none.

Each game will be preceded by a 30-minute pregame show and followed by a half-hour postgame show, featuring Spurrier and Apollos’ players, according to a press release.

The Apollos open their inaugural season against the Atlanta Legends on Saturday, Feb. 9 at 7 p.m. at Spectrum Stadium.
