Media Fund
KC Catbackers
History
Several years ago, the Radio Fund was created to assist K-State athletics in Kansas City. Diligent efforts paid off, and the Wildcats landed a local radio station. This was partially due to the funds raised by your contributions to the Radio Fund. Then, in 1996, WHB came along with a strong signal, and advertisers filled the financial gap that the Radio Fund was created for. It was another step in the emerging Wildcat athletic story. A year later the Radio Fund became the Wildcat Media Fund to match the broadened goals of the program.
Today
The Wildcat Media Fund supports the K-State Sports Properties (KSSP) broadcasts in the Kansas City market. KSSP is a joint venture of K-State Athletics and Learfield Communications. Learfield Communications is a national leader in collegiate sports broadcasting and marketing.
The 2005-06 season started a 10-year partnership that grants Learfield and K-State Sports Properties the exclusive marketing and broadcast rights for all Wildcat teams. The network distributes it digital-quality signal via satellite to more than 30 affiliates across the Midwest, including play-by-play coverage of football, men’s and women’s basketball, volleyball and baseball.
Local broadcasts include:
K-State Radio Network on WHB 810AM
- All Wildcat Football and Men's Basketball games
- The Ron Prince Coach's Call-in Show
K-State Television Network on FSN Midwest Cable and Satellite
- Men's and Women's Basketball, Volleyball and Baseball games
- Ron Prince , Bob Huggins and Deb Patterson televised Coach's Shows
Any money received over and above the media requirements is contributed to the Mike Ahearn Scholarship Fund for student-athletes.
