N-D Radio: Bison Network Expands

Statewide television coverage continues for North Dakota State University football in 2019, and listening options have grown to a new high of 25 radio stations on the Peterson Farms Seed Bison Radio Network.

Radio coverage will continue to blanket North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota with the addition of two new signals. KRJB-FM 106.5 in Ada, Minn., has joined the network, and KCJB-AM 910 has taken over coverage in Minot, N.D. In the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area, where the Bison open the season at Target Field, KYCR-AM 1440 returns as a network affiliate.

Football radio network coverage will continue to originate out of Fargo on 107.9 The Fox with 30-minute pregame and postgame shows. Jeff Culhane is entering his fourth season as play-by-play voice of the Bison alongside analyst Phil Hansen and sideline reporter Jeremy Jorgenson.

Local game day coverage on Bison 1660 and 92.7 FM spans 11 hours beginning with "The Weekend Kickoff" with Andy Rieckhoff at 9 a.m. followed by "Bison Tailgate" with Brad Jones at 11 a.m. and "Bison Game Day" with Keith Brake at 12 p.m. before network pregame coverage at 2 p.m. for games beginning at 2:30 p.m. Brake hosts the "Bison Hotline" postgame call-in show for 2 hours after network coverage.
