“We are extremely happy to have WVOL join the Golden Eagle Sports Network,” says Athletics Director Mark Wilson. “This is a tremendous opportunity for both of us. It brings our broadcasts to a large number of new listeners in the Nashville market, and WVOL can carry every exciting minute of Tennessee Tech football and basketball.”

John Heidelberg, owner and president of Heidelberg Broadcasting, is also excited about the opportunity to add Golden Eagle broadcasts to his station’s programming.

“This is a new and exciting opportunity for our station to bring the broadcasts of Tennessee Tech University athletics to our market,” he says. “Tennessee Tech has a strong athletics program, which attracts students and recruits from the Nashville Metro area, and there are thousands of Tennessee Tech alumni living in our area who can now listen to those games.”

The Golden Eagle Sports Network, hosted by Clear Channel Communications of Cookeville, also includes stations in Sparta (105.5 FM) and McMinnville (960 AM), in addition to flagship station WHUB (1400 AM) in Cookeville. With four stations, as well as Internet streaming, the network broadcasts every football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball game to a large listening area throughout the mid-state area.

In addition, the broadcasts are carried on Teamline both online and by telephone. Streaming of the Golden Eagle Sports Network on WVOL is available at wvol1470.com, while the Golden Eagle Radio Network is found at www.ttusports.com.
