FAYETTEVILLE – The University of Arkansas Athletic Department is pleased to announce the baseball affiliate lineup for the 2010 RazorbackSports Network from ISP. The 17- station network will make its season debut this Friday when Arkansas hosts Ball State at 3:05 p.m.

"We are proud that the Razorback Sports Network from ISPcontinues to be one of the largest college baseball radio networks in the country," Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Jeff Long said. "For the first time in the network’s history, we will have both a flagship FM station in Northwest Arkansas and a 100,000 watt FM affiliate in Central Arkansas. Throughout the state and across the region, Razorback fans can follow our baseball team from the season opener, into the Southeastern Conference schedule and beyond. We will continue to work to increase our network thought the early part of the season and will provide updates when stations are added."

KQSM 92.1 FM The Ticket will air all games in Northwest Arkansas as the flagship station of the Razorback Network. KQSM 92.1 FM, formerly KKEG, is the sister station of longtime affiliate KFAY 1030 AM and previously carried selected Razorback broadcasts as well as all the 2009 post-season contests.

This is the second year for KABZ 103.7 FM in Little Rock will be an affiliate. KABZ will carry an extensive selection of regular season games in addition to all post-season action. Most affiliates will carry from 25-40 games, including most SEC contests. Fans will need to check their local listings for games broadcast on their local affiliates.

All radio broadcasts can also be heard on the internet at ArkansasRazorbacks.com through RazorVision. RazorVision is a subscription service of ArkansasRazorbacks.com.
