As an aside: The reason MT games are no longer on 89.5 is the same as the reason the radio network is not expanding. The athletic department either doesn't think it's important to be on radio, they have given up on finding sponsors, or (more likely) they haven't spent the energy to look for sponsors for the games. In a perfect world our games could be picked up on multiple stations from KY to AL and from the Cumberland Mts. to the TN River. If a flagship schools can blanket the state with coverage for their games shouldn't we try to blanket Middle Tennessee?
I think it falls in the same category as the beat writer "vacancy" at the DNJ. There just isn't the demand for it. The Athletic Dept can stream games world wide, while I'm assuming utilizing less resources. If our fan base can't move the needle within the RuCo line, who are we trying to reach outside the county?
There is a reason Knoxville Correctional football games are heard all across the state. DEMAND, which drives advertising dollars. Like the rest of you, I bleed blue. But, if I was the station manager at WMOT, and my job was to make 89.5 a profitable business entity, I'm not sure I would make MT games a priority. Just being honest. Let's face it, right now, our product sucks.
