North Dakota State University Athletics announced a six-year year flagship agreement with RADIO Fargo-Moorhead at a press conference held at the RFM studios on Tuesday, March 30.
A six-member committee at the University concluded a thorough bid and negotiation process over the past six months which resulted in the selection of RADIO Fargo-Moorhead as the exclusive radio rights holder to NDSU athletic events.
Details of the agreement, which runs through 2016, includes the Mighty 790AM KFGO as the flagship station of Bison Athletics -- football, men's and women's basketball.
The agreement also provides exclusivity on RADIO Fargo-Moorhead's family of stations. This new partnership also brings an in-depth promotional agreement along with the purchase of new equipment that will be used only by NDSU.
NDSU will have multiple signals available with 740 the FAN being the primary backup when games overlap, such as start times in basketball. The FAN may also be used to broadcast additional sports such as volleyball, wrestling, baseball and softball.
Coverage in this agreement does not change the dynamics of the established Bison Radio Network or its distribution by Wallace Radio Syndication.
NDSU also announces a six-year agreement today with Clear Channel Bismarck for football and a select number of basketball games. The Bison Radio Network has 13 affiliates in North Dakota and Minnesota.
The on-air talent roster on Bison football game day will remain the same. Veteran play-by-play announcer Scott Miller has accepted a position with RADIO Fargo Moorhead.
Bison Athletic Hall of Famer and former Buffalo Bills star Phil Hansen also returns to serve as color analyst for the football broadcasts, while Jeremy Jorgenson will work the sidelines. Miller and Jorgenson will cover men's and women's basketball.
