Hickory, NC-- Lenoir-Rhyne Athletics and the WSVM radio stations, 1490 AM and 96.5 FM, along with the campus radio station, 99.3 WLRZ, have agreed to partner for the home and away coverage of the 2019 LR football season. Juju Phillips and Jack Huss will return as the voice of LR football over the radio waves.
 
"We are looking forward to a long and prosperous relationship," said WSVM Owner Eddie Jolly. "This will be beneficial to both parties and I can't wait to work with Jack, Juju, and Aaron."
 
WSVM is a locally owned and operated radio station operating in the Valdese, N.C. area and covering Burke, Caldwell, Catawba, Lincoln, Cleveland, and Alexander areas.
 
The season opener, and year two of the Drew Cronic era, is set for Saturday, Sep. 7 at 6:00 p.m. against St. Augustine's Between the Bricks at Moretz Stadium.
 
"We are very excited to begin this relationship with Eddie and WSVM- the Best Mix on the Dial," Associate Athletic Director Aaron Bessey said. "With their close proximity to Hickory, this partnership will provide a much better coverage area for local Bears fans."

The St. Augustine's game will be live streamed on Bears Sports Network with an audio call on the WSVM station and app, so fans will not miss a second of the call from Phillips and Huss.
