Since 2016, local Auburn fans have listened to Auburn Sports Network broadcasts on the Tiger Communications family of stations.
Beginning this fall, those same fans will have to turn the dial to listen to Auburn football, basketball, and baseball games.
Justin Lee of Opelika-Auburn News reported Friday that local radio company Auburn Network has acquired the rights to Auburn Sports Network broadcasts for the next five years. Because of this, football and men’s basketball games will be broadcasted on Wings 94.3 in Auburn. Women’s basketball and baseball games will now call AU100 home (100.3 on the FM dial).
The change does not affect broadcast assignments, as [autotag]Andy Burcham[/autotag] will remain the voice of Auburn football, men’s basketball, and baseball. In fact, Burcham will be a regular guest on Auburn Network’s sports talk station, ESPN 106.7.
This change will affect local softball broadcasts as well. Auburn softball broadcasts will move back to their original home, WEGL 91.1, with Brit Bowen and JJ Jackson remaining the primary play-by-play talent.
The first Auburn Sports Network production will begin in August with the first edition of Tiger Talk, with the first Auburn football broadcast coming on Sept. 2.
