I'm confused as to why this thread was chosen for the discussion.

Probably because it is marked sticky and shows up as the first thread in the Men's Basketball forum.

Very happy to stumble onto Rima and Jacobson on 1700 The Champ (Des Moines) this evening. I don't know if they air the show every week or a one time occurrence. Nice to get the coverage, as opposed to 1460 bumping the UNI games for any possible excuse they could come up with.

Isn't 1700 the home for UNI games in DM? Thought I heard that on the radio last time I was down there.

yes 1700 is this year, but when it was 1460 in previous years they certainly weren't playing the coaches show.

Yes 1700 is doing a nice job. They carried the Mark Farley show during football season and now have the weekly Ben Jacobson show
Larry Cotler also has a show from 4-6 where he often talks Missouri Valley BB Also had Mark Farley as a guest each week during football and I am sure he will now have Ben as a guest
I am becoming a 1700 fan

This is great to hear. I would encourage every Panther fan, whether you live in Des Moines or not, to send an email to the Ops Mgr Sean Elliot [email protected] and Program Director Robert Rees [email protected] to say how much you like and appreciate them carrying the Panthers. Seems it is easy to complain now days, but saying thank you usually gets forgotten. And that is the best way to get more Panther coverage.

Agreed, 1700 is doing a nice job. Larry Cotlar is also the PBP guy for Drake, so he's in tune with MVC basketball. 1700 is also available on I Heart Radio, so you can listen to the coaches shows and Cotler via your cell phone while inside. While I appreciate all the coverage from 1540, it's tough to get at night sometimes in DSM, and also has no web or listen live type app.

Re: The Official '13-14 Basketball Schedule + TV Broadcast Info

Completely agree with the last several posters. Made the switch from 1460 to 1700 a couple of months ago when I noticed the far more balanced coverage of the 4 in-state schools, and haven't regretted a minute of it.

Plus, those losers in the morning on KXNO are just annoying and seem to have minimal sports knowledge. Their show is the reason I decided to check out the "other" station in DM. Love getting the national perspective in the morning out of New York with CBS Sports Radio during my morning drive, then more local stuff with Cotler in the afternoon.
