Bronco Sports Network to grow
Don Day | April 6, 2008Currently, the Bronco Sports Network consists of just two stations: KBOI/News Talk 670 and KGA/Spokane.
Under the new agreement, the network could swell to nine stations in seven markets. Peak Broadcasting worked behind the scenes to secure the network, and is “98% confident” in closing the deals now that it has secured the radio rights.
Potential network partners:
- KID/Idaho Falls (GAP West)
- KWIK/Pocatello (GAP West)
- KLIX/Twin Falls (GAP West)
- KALE/Tri Cities (New Northwest)
- KGA-KEYF-KJRB/Spokane (Mapleton)
- KBJX/Idaho Falls-Pocatello (Pacific Empire)
- KBKR/Baker City (Pacific Empire)
- KLBM/La Grande (Pacific Empire)
- KCLK/Lewiston-Clarkston (Pacific Empire)
But there could be one more partner: KWEI AM/FM. Peak would extend its rights to KWEI – which would produce a Spanish-language broadcast of football games.
Congrats to Peak. Hopefully this will serve as an example of what is possible when a little effort is put forth.
Boise radio has been mediocre for far too long. Yet sadly, Peak appears to be the only company in town willing to change that.
I always wondered why KBOI didn’t invite a lot of Idaho stations to join the Bronco network, KBOI at night has no signal east, so we lost the Twin Falls, pocatello, IFalls area.
We are avid BSU fans and alumni. We live in NE Oregon. Now that KBOI does not carry the games, we cannot get the games on any stations. What kind of new deal is this? KALE is good for about a 10 mile radius frm tricities. We miss the voice of the Broncos.
KIDO streams the game live.
Yes, if you have access to a computer, go to http://www.kidoam.com and you can stream the game. They also will have the basketball games as well.
