ulldog fans can follow their favorite team throughout the 2014 season on the Georgia Bulldog Radio Network from IMG Sports, which will feature one of the nation’s best-known flagship stations, an affiliate list that ranks among the country’s largest, and production supplied by the premier college sports marketing and radio production company in America. IMG provides radio network production for more than 30 major college athletic programs in the SEC and other prominent conferences.

Play-by-play man Scott Howard returns for his 21st season covering Bulldog football and basketball, while former UGA record-setting quarterback Eric Zeier is back to provide his insightful analysis. Loran Smith and Neil “Hondo” Williamson return as co-hosts of the popular pre-game "Tailgate Show," while veteran Atlanta sportscasters Chuck Dowdle and Tony Schiavone will also contribute post-game interviews to the broadcast, including the Locker Room Show with head coach Mark Richt. The network flagship is Atlanta’s News/Talk 750 WSB and 95.5 FM. All games will also be available via the Internet at www.georgiadogs.com on a subscription basis. Additionally, every SEC football game will be carried live on Sirius XM Radio as part of a broadcast & marketing agreement between the SEC and the satellite radio provider.
Scott Howard
The voice of Scott Howard has become synonymous with Georgia athletics. He returns for his 21st season behind the microphone at both Georgia football and basketball games. Howard began his association with Bulldog football as a color analyst alongside the late Larry Munson in the 1993 season. In 2007 he broadcasted play-by-play action in all of Georgia's road football games, and the next season he became the program's primary radio voice by the third game. Howard has served as the Georgia basketball team's primary play-by-play reporter since the 1997 season. A 1984 UGA graduate, he also announced Georgia baseball games from 1990-96.
