Griffin Communications has announced the launch of KFAQ The Blitz 1170 AM – Tulsa’s new sports talk station covering Oklahoma and national sports.
“We are so excited to bring the best local sports radio to Tulsa,” said Todd Spessard, Griffin Communications’ Vice President of Content. “From high school to college to professional – Tulsa has so many great sports stories to tell, and we can’t wait to bring them to Green Country. We’re putting together a local lineup of some of the best and well-known Tulsa voices and are ready to start talking sports!”
Not only will The Blitz debut an all-new winning lineup, the station will also feature content from News On 6 Sports – a team led by veteran Sports Director John Holcomb and trusted by sports fans across Green Country.
The Blitz lineup will be anchored weekday mornings with a very familiar voice – Rick Couri. Couri is currently the voice of University of Tulsa Basketball as well as the play by play announcer for Union Football.
Fans can also look forward to regular appearances from News 9 Sports Director Dean Blevins covering all things OU alongside Thunder Reporter Steve McGehee and college football analyst Dusty Dvoracek.
“I am incredibly excited for this opportunity with The Blitz,” said Jeremie Poplin, KFAQ Director of Programming. “A lot of hard work has gone into all the stages of planning for a station that will reach a variety of different fan bases. We will strive to present a product everyone can be proud of and help fill the local sports void in Tulsa.”
