Marquette Radio Network Expands For 2007-08 Campaign
         

Milwaukee - A new affiliate and an expanded coverage area highlight the Marquette Radio Network, which spans from northern Wisconsin to Indiana, for the 2007-08 men's basketball season.

WPJP 100.1 FM (Port Washington) is the newest member of the 12-station network, which features ESPN Radio 1510 AM/1290 AM (Milwaukee) as its flagship.

"This is a perfect fit for us as a Catholic radio station," said Neil Robbins, WPJP Operations Manager. "We're very excited to be carrying Marquette basketball on Relevant Radio 100.1 FM."

Each of the team's games will be carried live throughout the network, with broadcasts also including pregame and postgame coverage. Steve "The Homer" True (play-by-play) and former MU standout Jim McIlvaine (analyst) return to handle the in-game action. True will also continue to serve as host for the "Tom Crean Show."

Each broadcast will also be available on the internet at GoMarquette.com. The "Marquette All-Access" feature will stream the programming provided by ESPN Radio 1510 AM/1290 AM.

"The exposure of the men's basketball program continues to grow on an annual basis and the radio is a good illustration of that," said Mike Broeker, Deputy Athletics Director. "We are excited about not only our new relationships, but also with those we have developed in recent years."

MU's ever-expanding radio network is made possible in part because of the department's relationship with Nelligan Sports, which owns the broadcasting rights to Marquette athletics.

Well, maybe we'll get a Port Washington signal better than 1510/1290.

Does anyone know how well 1380 (Rockford) hits downtown Chicago?

Doesn't look like it will hit Chicago. There has to be an AM station in Chicago that would carry Marquette games.

What about streaming access?

Thanks for the response.  Does anyone know if there is Chicago station that carries MU games?
