CLARION, Pa. (EYT) – EYT Media Group, the parent company of exploreClarion.com, announced today that it is teaming up with three of the area’s most seasoned sportscasters to bring fans a full slate of high school football and basketball broadcasts for the upcoming seasons.
In a news release, the company announced that it has signed veteran sportscasters Dustin Kifer, Bob “The Governor” Dunkle, and Mike Kalinowski to audio broadcast 2015-2016 District 9 KSAC high school football and basketball games. The games will be streamed on the EYT Radio Network via exploreClarion.com and an easy-to-use smartphone app.
“We’re thrilled to bring Dustin, Bob, and Mike on board,” said Jake Bauer, President of EYT Media Group. “Their combination of experience and talent gives us the best broadcast team in the area.”
Broadcasters Dustin Kifer and Bob Dunkle, and Mike Kalinowski are also eager to start the partnership with EYT Media Group and plan to give listeners the best coverage in the district.
“With 28 years in the radio business, I am excited to be a part of the emerging medium of online sports coverage. While I still believe in the value of terrestrial radio, the potential audience for our high school coverage online is limitless,” said Kalinowski. “This is an exciting time and one that I hope will give our local student-athletes a lot more exposure and provide additional opportunities for them during and after high school.”
“We are excited to start this new partnership with the leading media outlet in Clarion County,” said Dustin Kifer. “We look forward to giving listeners in the KSAC the best coverage in the league for this football and basketball season.”
