PITT FOOTBALL ENJOYS COMPREHENSIVE RADIO COVERAGE IN 2007

Aug. 6, 2007

PITTSBURGH--The University of Pittsburgh and its multimedia rights holder, ISP Sports, will provide the Panthers with thoroughly comprehensive -- and unprecedented -- radio coverage this season.

Pitt football is broadcast on the Pittsburgh ISP Sports Network, presented by First Commonwealth. Game broadcasts will air over a loyal network of stations, including Pittsburgh flagships 94.5 3WS (WWSW-FM) and Fox Sports Radio 970 (WBGG-AM). Pitt's family of radio affiliates (which has nearly doubled over the last four years) stretches across the Commonwealth as well reaching Eastern Ohio, Southern New York and West Virginia -- including newly added stations in Central and Eastern Pennsylvania.

For the 34th consecutive year, Bill Hillgrove will serve as the "Voice of the Panthers." Bill Fralic, who starred at Pitt from 1981-84 and ranks as one of college football's greatest offensive linemen, enters his fourth year as color analyst.

Football game broadcasts include:

· Two-hour pregame programming beginning with "First and Long, presented by Enscoe and Long Insurance Group," a 30-minute show featuring Pitt athletic director Jeff Long and host Rob King. Pregame analysis then continues with the 90-minute Geico Panthers Pregame Show with Hillgrove, Fralic and King leading the discussion.

· The hour-long Baierl Automotive Postgame Show hosted by Bill Hillgrove and Bill Fralic. Postgame coverage includes highlight recaps and live interviews with coaches and players.

· "Panther Hotline," an hour-long call-in show heard on the flagship stations following postgame coverage that provides Pitt fans the opportunity to weigh in on the day's action.

Additionally, the weekly "Dave Wannstedt Show" will air live on Fox Sports Radio 970 from the Pittsburgh Steak Company (1924 East Carson Street) Wednesdays from 7:30-8:30 p.m. Coach Wannstedt previews the upcoming game and takes questions from callers listening on many of the same Pittsburgh ISP Sports Network affiliates that carry Pitt game broadcasts.

The Pittsburgh ISP Sports Network includes 25 stations throughout the region. Broadcasts are also available via SIRIUS Satellite Radio and "Panthers All-Access" on Pitt's official Web site, PittsburghPanthers.com.
