The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga has a new radio home for its football and basketball programs.
UTC and Learfield Sports’ Mocs Sport Properties made the announcement Tuesday that a five-year radio agreement, which begins this football season, has been reached to carry the games from all three programs and all three coaches’ shows on 96.1 FM The Beat. They have been broadcast on ESPN The Zone (105.1) in recent years.
“We anticipate this will be a seamless transition as we introduce the Mocs over the airwaves on our new Clear Channel affiliate,” UTC athletic director David Blackburn said. “Learfield Sports does a tremendous job identifying the best way to align radio affiliates with our objectives and our fan base. We anticipate a great run with Clear Channel and only expect the utmost quality broadcasts and programming for Mocs fans.”
The partnership will run through the 2018-19 season. In the event of a conflicting broadcast, Clear Chanel Radio’s 98.1 The Lake will carry the UTC athletics programming.
