Gophers football coach P.J. Fleck wants to keep his program in the spotlight, and he’ll do that locally with a radio show and a TV show.

The Gophers announced that “Gopher Football Weekly with P.J. Fleck’’ will debut at 7 p.m. Monday on KFXN Radio (100.3-FM) and will air live on Tuesdays throughout the season. The first show will be taped, but the rest on Tuesdays will be live from noon to 1 p.m. at Joe Senser’s Sports Theater in Roseville. Fans are encouraged to attend.

Mike Grimm, the radio play-by-play announcer for the Gophers, will be the host, and Ch. 4 personality Mark Rosen will be the co-host.

The live Tuesday shows start Sept. 5 and run through Nov. 21, expect for Sept. 18, which is the Gophers’ bye week.

TV show, too

Earlier, the Gophers announced that “The P.J. Fleck Show’’ will debut on KSTP-TV (Ch. 9) at 6:30 p.m. Thursday. After the debut show, the 30-minute program will air at 6:30 p.m. Wednesdays on Ch. 9, with a repeat at 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays on WFTC (Ch. 29).

They expect people to go see it live at that time? I mean, I guess if people decided to go on their lunch break it could work, but I just don't see that happening right now.

There's gonna be a bunch a people, it's lunch time. Some will be unaware and bothered by it, some will be happy, some will make an effort be there just to see PJ. But there's gonna be people...even if we lose to Buffalo, as some are worried about, there will be people.

Gopher fans are all old, they're mostly retired and have nothing to do.

FWIW, some radio stations will tape-delay the show. The station I work at does not want to pre-empt our Noon News Hour, (can't miss those farm reports....), so we tape-delay the Coaches show until later in the day - usually 6pm depending on Twins and High school sports.
