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.

Game Day Television

KVLY and the NBC North Dakota network will carry 11 of the 12 regular season football games statewide in high definition on KVLY channel 11 in Fargo and Grand Forks, KFYR channel 5 in Bismarck, KMOT channel 10 in Minot, KQCD channel 7 in Dickinson, KUMV channel 8 in Williston.

The television broadcast team includes play-by-play voice Brian Shawn, analyst Lee Timmerman and sideline reporter Ryan Gellner. Pregame coverage hosted by Beth Hoole and Alex Egan begins one hour prior to kickoff with special 90-minute shows scheduled from the season-opener at Target Field and the home opener at the Fargodome.

NDSU's game at Youngstown State will be the Missouri Valley Football Conference game of the week and only available for viewing with a subscription to ESPN+ through the ESPN app. ESPN+ will carry all NDSU games except at Delaware, which will be televised on NBC North Dakota but streamed exclusively on FloSports.TV.
