The ZONE to broadcast every Lake Monsters game
Karen Marshall, vice president for Clear Channel in Vermont said, "We've stepped up our commitment to the Vermont Lake Monsters organization for the 2006 season on WXZO 96.7 FM and WEAV 960 AM. With more than 13 years of baseball fun in our market, the newly renamed Vermont Lake Monsters deliver a summer pastime that every family can enjoy, and baseball fans throughout the region will be able to hear every game with Vermont's team on these two stations."
Dave Koehn, the new voice of UVM Men's Basketball and the Zone's sports anchor said, "I look forward to joining the best voices in sports, with over 50 years of sportscasting experience, at the ballpark this summer." Listeners will hear game calls from the ZONE team of Koehn, Jack Healy, Chris Wojcik and George Commo.
The ZONE will broadcast 38 home games and 38 away games for the Lake Monsters this season, beginning with the Lake Monsters opener at Lowell on June 20, and their home opener against Tri-City on Friday, June 23. In their first season last year, the ZONE broadcast all 38 home games and 12 away games.
"We are very pleased to be partnered with the ZONE again this season and very excited about their increased commitment to our team," said Vermont Lake Monsters general manager C.J. Knudsen. "We are especially pleased that for the first time all of our road games will be on the radio, giving all of our great fans the most in-depth coverage of the team that they've had in our 13 seasons."
