So, whether they’re sailing off Virginia’s eastern shore, hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains, or sitting in their homes anywhere in the Commonwealth, Tech fans know they’re always within range of a Virginia Tech ISP Sports Network radio station. Again during the 2008-09 season, the Tech network includes an impressive list of AM and FM radio stations that blanket the region, giving Tech basketball tremendous exposure throughout Virginia and surrounding states. Many of the mid-Atlantic region’s most popular and powerful radio stations carry Tech basketball broadcasts, including WTEM, ESPN980 in Washington, DC, Newsradio 790 WNIS in Norfolk, WRNL and WRVA in Richmond, powerful WJJS-FM in Roanoke, and more then thirty other strong affiliates that blast Tech basketball broadcasts to fans throughout the region both day and night.
