Go Pioneers!


After two seasons with the Mile High Sports Radio Network, the University of Denver basketball and hockey programs are returning to KRWZ AM 950 and FM Sportsradio 104.3 the FAN, respectively, as their exclusive radio homes for the 2009-10 season. The FAN served as the exclusive home to Pioneer athletics for eight seasons from 1999-2007.

AM 950 will serve as the flagship station for the Denver men's basketball program. All 29 regular season games and all postseason game will be broadcast on AM 950. Veteran basketball announcer Mitch Hyder calls the action for his 11th season.

"It is important that our loyal Denver basketball fans can listen to all of our games on one radio station," DU head basketball coach Joe Scott said. "We are pleased that every home, road and postseason game will be broadcast on a great radio signal in AM 950."

FM Sportsradio 104.3 the FAN will serve as the flagship station for the seven-time NCAA champion DU hockey program, carrying a majority of the broadcasts with some games on AM 950. Jay Stickney returns for his 10th season calling on the exciting on-ice, play-by-play action.

"We are excited to return to the premier sports radio station in the Denver Metro region," DU head coach George Gwozdecky said. "We have a highly-competitive schedule and we're excited to renew our partnership with our friends at the FAN."

FM Sportsradio 104.3 the FAN is Denver's Sports Station. Live local talk with some of Denver's premier talk talent, including Scott Hastings, Alfred Williams, Sandy Clough and Mike Evans. Mix that with the strength of Mike & Mike in the Morning and the Jim Rome Show and you truly have Denver's #1 sports station, FM Sportsradio 104.3, the FAN.

"It's World Class Hockey on FM for the entire front range to hear and college basketball's No. 1 program in Colorado heard everywhere on AM 950," Sr. VP/GM Bob Call of Lincoln Financial Media Co. of Colorado said.
