CBS Radio’s sports station WFAN-AM (660) and FM (101.9) is the flagship station of the New York Yankees

There are 37 days until Major League Baseball's opening day, but who's counting? I am.

CBS Radio's sports station WFAN-AM (660) and FM (101.9) is ready to begin its first year of a multi-year contract as the flagship station of the New York Yankees, beginning with live coverage of the team's pre-season match-up versus the Pirates 1:05 p.m. Thursday from Steinbrenner Field in Tampa.

WFAN's broadcast team will be led by John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman, who are entering their 10th season together behind the microphone, with Sweeny Murti providing commentary during the station's pre- and post-game shows broadcast before and after all regular-season contests.

The remaining pre-season broadcast schedule is: 1:05 p.m. March 8 at Astros; 1:05 p.m. March 9 vs. Rays; 1:05 p.m. March 15 at Orioles; 1:05 p.m. March 16 vs. Braves; 1:05 p.m. March 18 vs. Red Sox; 1:05 p.m. March 22 at Twins; 1:05 p.m. March 23 vs. Blue Jays; 7:05 p.m. March 25 vs. Phillies; and 1:05 p.m. March 29 vs. Marlins.

The regular season begins April 1 in Houston for a three-game series with the Astros.

MTV's 24-hour college network, mtvU, has revealed the categories and nominees for its 2014 "Woodie Awards."

Categories this year include artist of the year, performing, best video, best collaboration and best college radio station.

William Paterson University's WPSC-FM (88.7) is one of the 10 nominees in the best college radio station category.

"The selection means everything," said WPSC program director Mike Ortiz. "We basically eat, sleep and live for our radio station. It's great for us who work at the station and great for the state of New Jersey."

Listeners can vote for their favorite college station, through March 6 at woodies.mtv.com.

The annual on-air fundraiser for WFDU-FM (89.1) concludes next Friday.

The funds raised during the drive, along with primary support from Fairleigh Dickinson University, keep the station operating for another year.

"Our listeners know that we only ask them for money once a year and only once a year, compared to many other non-commercial stations in the area which constantly rattle the tin cup," said Carl J. Kraus, station general manager for the past three decades.

To donate, call 201-692-2012 or head to the station's website, wfdu.fm.
