RADFORD, Va. - Radford Athletics is excited to announce that during the 2024-25 basketball seasons, Highlander fans can enjoy listening to every men's and women's game throughout the New River and Roanoke Valley on commercial radio as the department has once again partnered with Monticello Media and New River Radio Groups as the flagship radio station of the Highlanders.

All men's basketball games can be heard on WWBU 101.7 FM and 103.5 FM while all women's contests will be carried on WRAD AM 1460 throughout the entire 2024-25 campaigns!

In an exciting addition, men's games can also now be heard throughout all of the Roanoke Valley on CBS Sports Radio affiliate WFXJ Fox Radio on 104.3 FM and 910 AM. 

All men's contests will continue to be carried within Radford city limits on the campus radio station WVRU 89.9 FM.

With the addition of the Roanoke Valley market, Radford basketball can be heard all over the New River and Roanoke Valley with one of the largest radio reaches in school history. Both men's and women's programs will also go national as the broadcasts can be listened to anywhere in the country on the respective partner's website.

"We are very proud to be able to once again offer a very large range of coverage for our basketball programs to the community on commercial radio," Director of Broadcasting Rick Watson said. "New River Radio Group has been an outstanding partner over the years and this relationship will also mark the tenth season that our women's program has had a commercial radio presence on WRAD. We are also very excited to team up with WFJX Fox Radio to expand the men's network to both the county and city of Roanoke."

The 2024-25 basketball seasons are finally here as both the men's and women's campaigns get underway on Monday, November 4 with huge ACC contests. The women will open the day at Duke at 11 AM ET while the men hit the road to take on Pittsburgh at 7 PM ET.

Watson will once again don the headset for the men's program to call his 25th season as "The Voice of the Highlanders". On the women's side, Tom Purvis returns for his seventh season of calling all of the women's action. Former Radford standout Cole Wilder will join Watson on the men's broadcasts and fellow former Highlander Crystal Hubbard will accompany Purvis on the women's contests.

To go with the standout radio coverage, all home games for both the Radford men's and women's basketball programs will be played in front of a national audience on ESPN+.
