For the first time in 10 years, a Dixie State College football road game will be televised back to St. George and statewide. Thanks to the partnership between DSC’s Dick Nourse Center for Media Innovation (CMI) and KCSG-TV, live coverage of the Red Storm’s season finale at Humboldt State will air this Saturday, Nov. 7, beginning at 2 p.m. (MST), on KCSG-TV.
In addition, Saturday’s game coverage will be simulcast on KXDS-91.3 FM, the new and temporary radio home of DSC athletics, with Red Storm play-by-play announcer John Potter and Phil Tuckett, who played football at DSC in the 1960’s and recently retired after a near 40-year career at NFL Films, calling the action.
“This broadcast signals CMI’s validation and the partnership with KCSG,” said Tuckett, who serves as DSC assistant communication professor and CMI director. “Our goal is to broadcast every home and away football game and selected men’s basketball road games in the very near future.”
Tuckett added that the long-term goal is to have an all-sports radio station at DSC, complete with games, coaches shows and sports talk programs, which will be interspersed with coverage of campus and community events.
Saturday’s game at Humboldt State will also serve as the first-ever football game broadcast at HSU’s famed Redwood Bowl, which is situated in the Redwood Forest in Arcata, Calif.
