Tiger Sports Properties (TSP), the multimedia rightsholder for University of Memphis Athletics and locally-based Learfield IMG College team, has announced new affiliate radio partners and staff changes for the Memphis Tiger Radio Network.
The Memphis Tiger Radio Network added three affiliates for the 2019 football and men's basketball seasons, expanding into nearby Arkansas and Mississippi. The three stations are owned by Force 3 Radio Network.
In Mississippi, Tiger broadcasts can be heard on WNEV 98.7 Friars Point. In Arkansas, KAKJ 105.3 FM Marianna and KCLT 104.9 FM West Helena will carry Memphis football and men's basketball games.
The new stations join returning affiliates WNQM 1300 AM in Nashville; WKBQ 93.5 FM in Covington; and WJAK 1460AM/96.1 FM in Jackson, Tennessee.
According to Force 3 Radio President & CEO Raymond Simes, "We're very excited to have Tiger broadcasts on the maximum music force, Delta Force 3. Our three radio stations now include the great sounds of Memphis football and men's basketball for all the fans in our listening area."
Additionally, TSP announced plans to honor former pre/post-game host Forrest Goodman for the 2019 season. The broadcast desk will be called the Forrest Goodman Broadcast Desk and all radio staff will wear FG pins in his memory during the year. A long-time member of the Tiger Radio Network, Goodman passed away in June.
The voice of the pre/post-game shows from the Forrest Goodman Broadcast Desk will be Jeff Brightwell. Brightwell assumes duties as the football and men's basketball show host, along with hosting duties of the seasonal Coach Mike Norvell and Penny Hardaway Radio Shows.
Taking over the sideline duties this season will be Greg Gaston, a long-time member of the Mid-South broadcasting community, including his current role as the co-host of Middays with Greg & Eli on Sports56 WHBQ. The former sports director for ABC24/UPN30 for 12 years, Gaston also served as a host on WKNO's Sports Files for four years.
