Notice of Change in PN-G Broadcasts

[PN-G bamatex]

I originally posted some information about this in the programming thread tacked to the top of the football board earlier today, but I just received a copy of this memo, so I'm posting it here. Please help get the word out to PN-G fans and to fans of PN-G opponents that may not have broadcasting resources.

PNG Football Broadcast More Accessible, More Mobile
You’ll have more places and options to listen to PNG football this season than ever before, including two radio stations, two smart phone APPs and numerous websites. Joe Arnold, play by play announcer for the broadcast team said it was a bitter sweet decision. “We’ve been on FM radio for a long time and were hesitant to make a switch, but the new selections give our listeners so many more options. At the end of the day, it’s all about the listener experience and these new outlets give them more options to listen on their terms. Our biggest concern was staying on the radio for the folks that didn’t have internet or smart phone access particularly our older audience who are often shut‐ins”, said Arnold. The games will now be carried on the Legacy Sports Network website as the primary carrier with supplemental broadcasts on AM 1450, AM 1550 and PNGINDIANS.COM as well as other websites.

The broadcast are still underwritten by BASF FINA Petrochemicals with all ad
proceeds going to PNG High School in the form of scholarships. BASF FINA
Petrochemicals manager for community and Government Affairs, Carol Hebert says giving back to the community is important to the company. “It’s a great way for the site to show our commitment to the community while allowing local business the opportunity of showing their support for the home team, all while raising money for scholarships”, Hebert said.

To listen to the games you can log on to the Legacy Sports Network at
www.legacysportsnetwork.com or tune in to AM 1450 or AM 1550 on your radio.

You can also listen on your iPhone or android smart phone with the Legacy Sports Network mobile app or iHeart Radio app. Additionally, you can listen on the Cumulus Radio website at http://www.lagrand1450.com/, and
www.pngindians.com.

I understand that you'll also be able to hear the broadcasts here thanks to the recent partnership between SETXSports and the Legacy Sports Network.

It's good to see electronic access to SETX football becoming more available.
