KCRG 9.2 TO TELEVISE 5 FIGHTING SAINTS GAMES

Press Release

"This is the perfect partnership," said KCRG Broadcast Product Director Shannon Booth. "KCRG is thrilled to be providing live coverage of Dubuque Fighting Saints hockey again this season. We are committed to serving the Dubuque community and beyond."


This is the third season the Fighting Saints have partnered with KCRG 9.2 to televise games. The station first televised games in Dubuque during the 2011 Clark Cup Finals, and partnered with the Fighting Saints to broadcast five games last season. The five games KCRG 9.2 will televise this season are part of the Prairie Farms Cowbell Cup, a rivalry series featuring Dubuque, Cedar Rapids, and Waterloo. Fans in the Tri-State region will get to see the Fighting Saints battle with Eastern Iowa rivals Cedar Rapids and Waterloo in all of KCRG 9.2's broadcasts this season.

"We're excited to once again bring our product to fans throughout Eastern Iowa thanks to our partners at KCRG 9.2," said Dubuque Fighting Saints President Dan Lehv. "Our hope is that the coverage will help to grow our fan-base. The broadcasts will definitely enhance some key Prairie Farms Cowbell Cup match-ups this season."

Games KCRG 9.2 will televise during the 2012-13 season are: October 27 vs. Cedar Rapids, December 1 vs. Cedar Rapids, February 9 vs. Waterloo, March 16 vs. Cedar Rapids, and April 5 vs. Waterloo.
Radio broadcasters Zack Fisch and Don Keck will provide commentary for the KCRG 9.2 broadcasts. The games will be available in the Dubuque area via Medicom Cable on channels 109 and 115-6, and will stream live at KCRG.com.
