Austin Radio Network Texas Longhorns Football 104.9 The Horn KTXX 99.3 98.5 KOKE-FM Bob ColeAfter two decades on iHeartMedia Sports “1300 The Zone” KVET and Country 98.1 KVET-FM Austin, the University of Texas is moving its sports broadcasts to Austin Radio Network’s cluster of stations.

The entire cluster will air UT Football games including pre and post-game coverage. That includes Progressive Country 99.3 KOKE-FM Thorndale/98.5 K253AN Sunset Valley/1490 KTAE Austin, Sports “104.9 The Horn” KTXX Bee Cave, Classic Hits “Classic 105.3” K287FG Austin/KTXX-HD4, and “Comedy 1260” KLGO Elgin. KOKE-FM/KTAE will also carry Men’s Basketball, while “The Horn” will air Men’s and Women’s Basketball, Baseball, Softball, and featured games from other sports. Texas Football will air in Spanish on Regional Mexican “Fiesta 97.1” K246BD Sunset Valley/KTXX-HD2 and 1530 KZNX Creedmoor.

Texas Athletics and IMG-College/Longhorn Sports Marketing announced Tuesday that the Austin Radio Network will become the new radio home for Texas Athletics.

The multi-year partnership between ARN and IMG will bring fans more live Longhorns athletics events and shoulder programming while adding a Spanish-language football broadcast flagship, beginning with the 2015 football season.

IMG, a global sports and media leader which manages Texas Athletics’ multi-media rights, negotiated the deal on behalf of the university.

ARN will simulcast across its platform of four FM radio stations and two AM stations live Longhorns sports events including football, men’s and women’s basketball, baseball, softball, and Longhorn Weekly coaches’ shows. ARN’s 104.9 FM “The Horn” will become the new flagship station.

The new broadcast rights partnership includes promotion across all of ARN’s six Austin stations and will bring fans more live game broadcasts, including the addition of softball, and new Longhorns news and talk programs.

Through a co-venture with Fiesta 97.1 FM and KXNZ 1530 AM, ARN will broadcast all Longhorns football games in Spanish.

“Our new partnership with ARN will bring more Longhorn events and coverage to fans in Austin,” said Scott Willingham, General Manager of Longhorns IMG Sports Marketing. “We’re particularly excited about an abundance of programming in addition to football, including more exposure for Longhorns’ Olympic sports. The university’s student-athletes, teams, fans, and corporate supporters will all benefit.”

No changes are anticipated for the Longhorn IMG Radio Network talent or crew for the 2015 football season.

“I want to thank IMG for their hard work and commitment in bringing a valuable broadcast partner into the Longhorns family. I’m impressed with ARN’s commitment to aggressively promoting all Longhorns sports in new and innovative ways,” said Steve Patterson, Texas Men’s Athletics Director. “Games will be heard by more fans, in more places, than ever before. ARN is a creative, home-grown commodity that has a genuine passion for The University of Texas and our community.”

Longhorn IMG Radio Network broadcasts for football, men’s basketball and coaches shows are available statewide on more than 30 radio stations. Texas games also will be streamed live world-wide (without cost) to Longhorns fans on TexasSports.com and on a separate digital streaming platform that is being developed in collaboration with ARN. The platform will feature live and archived content.

“Since 1893, The University of Texas Longhorns Athletics programs have been the absolute definition of hometown sports in Austin, Texas,” said Bob Cole, ARN’s Chief Executive Officer. “In 2012, we formed the Austin Radio Network, dedicated to the return of ‘hometown radio’ – both in ownership and programming. ARN is founded on the basic principle of being ‘hyper-local.’ We don’t hesitate or apologize for going over-the-top in exhibiting any and all of the unique assets that embody the heart and soul of Austin’s proud culture. Being locally owned is just the beginning. Being entrusted with the responsibility of broadcasting from UT’s biggest stage is truly prime-time! We are abundantly grateful for the confidence placed in us by IMG. Our staff is as enthused, as we are humbled.”

Comedy 1260 Austin The Word KLGO Elgin #AustinLaughsAustin Radio Network has flipped Gospel “1260 The Word” KLGO Elgin/Austin, TX to Comedy “Comedy 1260“.

Utilizing programming from George Gimarc’s Today’s Comedy Network, the move returns the format to the market where it once gained its highest ratings. Emmis had operated “Comedy 102.7” K274AX prior to flipping it to Spanish CHR “Latino 102.7” in May 2013. K274AX peaked at a 4.3 share in January 2012 making it at the time the highest rated translator in a PPM market.

104.9 The Horn KTXX-FM Austin 1260 KWNX ESPN Bob Cole Genuine KOKE-FMUpdate 1/2: With Genuine Austin Radio assuming control of 104.9 KTXX-FM and 1260 KWNX today, the stations have flipped to a hybrid Sports Talk/Classic Hits format.

Chip Brown and Chad Hastings’ morning show will expand an hour and run from 6am to 10am. Bucky Godbolt and Erin Hogan will remain in the 3-7pm timeslot. Midday co-host Sean Adams has been let go, while his co-host Adam Loeb will remain with the station in a yet to be disclosed role.

The rest of the station’s lineup will feature Classic Hits music replacing ESPN Radio programming. Austin has not had a Classic Hits formatted station since 98.9 KXBT was sold to the University of Texas in 2012.

Original Report 12/31: Bob Cole, Jason Nassour, and Eric Raines’ Genuine Austin Radio continues to grow.

The Austin American-Statesman reports that Cole’s group has purchased Sports “104.9 The Horn” KTXX-FM Bee Cave/1260 KWNX Elgin from Total Austin Sports Radio and will begin operating the station via LMA on Thursday, January 2.

In regards to the format, Cole told the Statesman that it will retain its local sports programming in mornings and afternoons, but other dayparts would be tweaked.

“We’re going to do something a little different,” he said, “that fills a hole that no one else in the market is filling.”

Total Austin Sports Radio acquired KTXX-FM/KWNX from Border Media in July 2012 for $2.5 Million. Genuine Austin Radio owns Alt Country 99.3 KOKE-FM and Christian Talk “The Word 1490” KLGO in the Austin market.

Morning co-host Chip Brown departs “The Bud Light Morning Rush” while co-host Erin Hogan remains.

Original Report 7/12: The final pair of stations in Border Media’s Austin cluster to be sold have now changed hands.

The Border Media Business Trust has sold Sports “104.9 The Horn” KTXX-FM Bee Cave/1260 KWNX Taylor to Total Austin Sports Radio LLC. for $2.5 Million.

Based on the company’s name I think its fair to say that the current format will be retained. Following the sales of the Austin stations (pending UT’s approval of its purchase of 98.9 KXBT), the Border Media trust will only need to sell off the San Antonio cluster as Laredo and Rio Grande Valley have been sold in recent months.

ESPN 1530” KZNX Creedmor has been sold to El Paso based America Telecommunications Group, Inc for $600,000. America Telecommunications Group owns 95.1 K236AY Westlake Hills which had been distributing programming from BMP’s 104.9 KTXX-HD4. 95.1 carried Spanish Women’s Talk programming “Radio Mujer” based out of Promomedio’s 1040 XEBBB Guadalajara, MX which appears to share common management with America Telecommunications Group. Gonzalo CÃ¡rdenas Barba is listed as Secretary of ATG on the FCC filing of the purchase and General Director of Promomedio.

ESPN Deportes 92.5” KXXS Elgin goes to EMF Broadcasting with an immediate flip to their Christian AC “K-Love” under new KVLR call letters. EMF is acquiring the station for $750,000 with an additional $250,000 to be paid if the station gets FCC approval and builds out its application to change COL to Sunset Valley with a new tower site in Austin proper. 92.5 KVLR joins what is now an Austin rimshot quadcast with 91.9 KLLR Dripping Springs southwest of the city, 92.1 KYLR Hutto to the northeast, and 106.3 KMLR Gonzales south of Austin.

The Border Trust should have other deals filed with the FCC shortly for the remainder of the Austin cluster which does include a new addition. 105.5 K288FJ Bastrop has completed its move-in to Austin and has been acquired from Big Bend Broadcasting for $250,000 to simulcast Sports “104.9 The Horn” KTXX Bee Cave. Border Media also operates 104.9 simulcaster 1260 KWNX Taylor, and Classic Hits “98.9 Austin’s Greatest Hits” KXBT Leander in the Austin market. With pending sales at its other clusters, the Border Trust will only have its San Antonio area properties remaining following the selloffs in Austin.
