With statewide coverage and a weekly coaches’ show broadcast live, the most anticipated season of Nevada football begins next week with exclusive coverage by the Wolf Pack Radio Network.
For the first time, the weekly Wolf Pack Coaches’ Show, featuring head coach Chris Ault, will be broadcast live from the Cantina del Lobo on the third floor of the Joe Crowley Student Union. The one-hour show airs live on ESPN Radio 630 AM, the flagship station for the Wolf Pack Sports Network. The first show will be Thursday, Sept. 3 and it airs from noon to 1 p.m.

The Wolf Pack Radio Network, reaching 2.2 million fans through statewide coverage, broadcasts every game for football, men's basketball and baseball, as well as women's basketball and select softball games.
