Radio broadcasts

edit

All Wildcats games will be heard on KLO (Ogden) and KLO-FM (Salt Lake City), nicknamed KLO AM/FM. KLO is a move from the previous radio broadcast group of 1280 AM, but radio broadcasts will still be done online via Big Sky TV for non-televised home games and on KLOradio.com for all games. Carl Arky will call every game that doesn't conflict with football broadcasts.[1] Dutch Belnap will return as the radio analyst.
