RADIO
University of Cincinnati fans have had no trouble tracking the Bearcats due to their radio network.

700 WLW begins its 17th season as the Bearcats' broadcast partner. The station's 50,000-watt signal can project UC games to 38 states and a third of Canada, and worldwide via 700WLW.com, making it possible for UC football and men's basketball fans to hear every game.

WLW augments the broadcast coverage with pregame and postgame programming. Additionally, head coaches Brian Kelly and Mick Cronin are featured on an hour-long call-in show each week from the original Montgomery Inn, allowing Cincinnati fans to meet the coach and ask their questions up close and personal.
