ESPN Radio 1310 AM joins CSN

Cullowhee, NC - ESPN Radio - 1310 AM - Big WISE in Asheville (and simulcasts on WYSE 970 AM in Canton) joins the Catamount Sports Network (CSN) for coverage of Catamount Football beginning with the upcoming 2012 football season.

ESPN Radio 1310 AM is based out of Asheville and thus expands the Catamount Sports Network's footprint across Western North Carolina.  Big WISE radio adds an over-the-air presence for CSN in Buncombe County, the largest concentration of WCU alumni in the state.

"We are very excited about the addition of ESPN Radio 1310 & 970 AM to the Catamount Sports Network in carrying Catamount football," said Randy Eaton, Western Carolina Athletics Director. "With such a large portion of our fan base and alumni located within the listenership of both 1310 AM and 970 AM, this partnership is a big victory for Catamount Athletics. Being affiliated across the Asheville Radio Group including segments with the Wise Guys daily talk show will greatly increase the exposure of Catamount Athletics across our region."
