nodak651 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 "Other scheduled Fighting Hawks' programming includes the UND Sports Today daily show providing fans a brief update on all campus sports." Does this currently air or is this new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the green team Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 It is a 2 minute daily program that has been running for years. They usually have it available on UNDSports.com too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bincitysioux Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Meh...... I've said this before but I'll say it again. I would really like to see UND partner with KNOX/Leighton. KNOX actually has local talk radio programing with local hosts for 12 hours a day. They rarely talk UND sports now because that would basically be advertising for their competition. If they were the flagship, we'd most likely actually hear some UND talk on the radio during the day. Hennessy's morning show is all we get now, and you can't hear that once you get past Northwood. KNOX reaches past Devils Lake, Jamestown, Wahpeton, Thief River, etc. during the day. Missing out on a lot of exposure here IMO. A 5 year deal is surprising to me too. Not sure how it will affect the GF stations, but iHeart will likely be filing for bankruptcy within a year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would Tim Hennessy switch radio stations again to still be able to do the play by play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
