The partnership has been going so well the parties have agreed to another five years. WJBC-AM 1230 and 93.7 NASH Icon will continue as the flagship stations of Illinois State Athletics. The stations will provide live broadcasts of all Redbird football and men’s basketball games in the greater Bloomington-Normal area. In addition, fans will hear all ISU women’s basketball game broadcasts, and football and basketball coaches’ shows on WJBC-AM 1230.
“Illinois State Athletics is thrilled to continue our relationship with WJBC to broadcast football and basketball games to our loyal Redbird fans,” Illinois State Director of Athletics Larry Lyons said. “We are proud to continue with the heritage and tradition of WJBC AM 1230, and excited to be adding 93.7 NASH Icon to the mix. These are two trusted and well-respected radio stations in Bloomington-Normal. Having both AM and FM radio coverage airing Redbird sports throughout Central Illinois will be valuable for ISU fans.”
Paula Williams, Market Manager Radio Bloomington-Cumulus, said, “Radio Bloomington-Cumulus is proud to continue our relationship with Redbird Athletics. We are very pleased to be working with Learfield’s Redbird Sports Properties and look forward to broadcasting ISU Athletic events for many years to come.”
