/in /by

Tennessee State University (TSU) and Nashville Sports Radio WNSR have announced a three-year partnership to enrich the gameday experience for Tiger fans and expand the coverage of TSU football and basketball throughout the Nashville region.

In this innovative collaboration, WNSR Radio Nashville, known for its local sports coverage, will serve as the official radio broadcast partner for TSU Football and Basketball. This multi-year agreement grants WNSR exclusive rights to provide live play-by-play coverage of all TSU football and basketball games, including regular season matches and postseason appearances. This partnership signifies a major milestone for both institutions, combining the rich traditions of TSU with WNSR’s dedication to delivering comprehensive sports coverage.

“We are thrilled to return to WNSR, one of the founding stations for TSU Athletics,” says Dr. Mikki Allen, Director of Athletics at TSU. “The profound significance that WNSR will bring to our football and basketball games will undoubtedly be cherished by our devoted fans.”

WNSR’s flagship network, 560 AM, 95.9 FM (Nashville), 107.9 FM (Smyrna), and WNSR.com, will broadcast all TSU football and men’s basketball games, allowing fans to stay connected with their beloved Tigers regardless of their location. Additionally, WNSR will offer in-depth pregame and postgame analysis, exclusive interviews with coaches and players, and behind-the-scenes content to engage fans on a deeper level.

The inaugural broadcast of this partnership will take place during the season-opening football game at Notre Dame on Saturday, Sept. 2.

“Voice of the Tigers” Greg Pogue will handle play-by-play duties for both football and men’s basketball, with former Tennessee Titan Chris Sanders joining him in the football booth. Veteran broadcaster Albert Dawson will return to the WNSR airwaves and is set to team up with Pogue for the men’s basketball broadcasts. Adam Johnson, WNSR Operations Manager, will serve as Executive Producer for all TSU broadcasts.

“This collaboration with TSU perfectly aligns with our mission to provide Nashville sports fans with top-quality coverage,” says Johnson. “We are committed to showcasing the exceptional talent and dedication of TSU athletes, and we are honored to become the radio home for Tiger football. Through this partnership, we aim to elevate the game day experience for all TSU fans and foster a deeper connection between the radio station and the North Nashville community.”

In addition to game day broadcasts, WNSR Radio Nashville will collaborate with TSU Football on community outreach initiatives, special events and promotional activities.

As part of the agreement, WNSR will feature dedicated coaches’ shows, highlighting Football Head Coach Eddie George and Men’s Basketball Head Coach Penny Collins, offering fans an inside look at the players, coaches and game strategies.

WNSR can also be streamed on mobile devices using the TSU Tigers app and through Alexa smart speakers.
