Dialing Up the Dawgs: Your Guide to Catching the Huskies on the Radio
Ah, Husky Football season. Crisp autumn air, the electrifying pulse of the crowd, and...desperately searching for the radio broadcast because you forgot to spring for the fancy cable package. Fear not, fellow fan, for this guide will illuminate the airwaves and ensure you never miss a crucial touchdown (or questionable officiating call).
The Flagship Station: 950 KJR, Seattle's Sports Radio
QuickTip: Skim slowly, read deeply.
This legendary station is the undisputed home of the Washington Huskies football radio broadcast. They'll be blasting "Should I Stay or Should I Go" (though hopefully the Huskies stay on offense a lot more than The Clash did) four hours before kickoff with their pre-game show, "Husky Gameday." So, fire up that old car radio, crank the volume, and let Mike Slive and the crew get you pumped for game day.
QuickTip: Pause at lists — they often summarize.
Beyond the Nest: The Washington Sports Network
QuickTip: Skim fast, then return for detail.
But what if you're venturing out of the Emerald City on game day? Don't fret, because the Huskies have a network of stations spanning the great state of Washington, ensuring you can catch the game from the San Juan Islands to Spokane. Just remember, depending on the location, coverage might not kick in until two hours before kickoff.
QuickTip: Pause when something clicks.
Bonus Tip: The Worldwide Web (and Your Phone)
In today's age of technological marvels, you're not limited to the traditional radio dial. The Huskies offer their entire radio broadcast on the Huskies Gameday mobile app – perfect for catching the game while tailgating or (ahem) attending to a very important work meeting. You can also stream the broadcast live on GoHuskies.com, because who doesn't love a little Huskies action with their morning coffee?
