Breaking news on media side

Good Karma (ESPNCraig Karmazin) will be purchasing radio stations from Scripps/Journal Communications including WTMJ 620, 103.3 FM & 94.5 WKTI.

This could be huge.

WTMJ is a 60,000 watt station. They carry Packers, Brewers... Will Marquette now be on a stronger signal? Will Packers & Brewers now be on "ESPN Radio"?

Big news.

For us out-of-towners - why is it assumed MU would change to TMJ?

Don’t think so as TMJ does the Bucks games. Too many overlaps.

Not saying they would switch to WTMJ. Wondering if Karmazin does some shuffling to get ESPN on a stringer signal.

I put this on the premium board...

WTMJ broadcasts on 50,000 watts
WKTI broadcasts on 14,000 watts
WAUK/ESPN broadcasts on 400 watts

Many people say you can't hear MU games once you get out past Waukesha, is he now able to do something to improve that?

Never seemed to be too much of a problem when they had the Bucks and the Badger basketball games.
