Hey. Just a heads-up for people who listen to games on the radio.
This Fall, the Gopher radio network has announced a new format.
The pre-game show will be 2 hours long! The Post-game show will be reduced to 30 minutes, so the total broadcast will be 30 minutes longer.
Oh - and the host of the new, expanded pre-game show will be Justin Gaard. Otherwise, the broadcast crew will be the same.
From a press release on the format change, regarding the pre-game show:
The show will include more time for big-name guests, including longer interviews with head coach PJ Fleck and athletic director Mark Coyle, more player profile and human interest features, an expanded Big Ten preview/scoreboard segment, and a weekly look back at the first ten years of TCF Bank Stadium.
From my point of view as a guy who works in radio - if they have any 11:00am kickoffs, that means the pre-game show will start at 9:00am. A lot of smaller stations run their local Coaches shows Saturday morning, recapping Friday night's football games and interviewing local coaches and players. So, this is a potential problem for those stations.
anyway, got the notification from the network, and thought someone may be interested.
