All Orange football games can be heard live and on demand around the world on the extensive Syracuse ISP Sports Network. Fans can follow the team via a state-wide radio network, suathletics.com via Orange All Access and Sirius Satellite Radio. The network welcomes two new stations for 2008-09 in WWKB-AM in Buffalo and WENY-AM/FM Corning, N.Y.
Galaxy Communications’ TK99 (WTKW, 99.5 FM), based in downtown Syracuse, is the flagship station for the 23-station network. Powerful affiliates in Albany (WGY), Rochester (WHAM), New York City (1050 ESPN) and Buffalo (WWKB) and beyond make the Orange accessible on every radio in the Empire State and across borders into Canada, Pennsylvania, New England and the tri-state area.

Galaxy has served as the play-by-play home of the football, men’s and women’s basketball and men’s lacrosse teams since 2007. Complimentary programming includes “The Greg Robinson Show,”. ‘Mondays with Mac’ (TK99, 7:00 p.m.) continues its hour-long format in 2008. Former Syracuse head coach Dick MacPherson shares his wit and wisdom with fans in a live restaurant setting.
Voice of the Orange Matt Park ’97 is in his seventh season with the network and fifth as the play-by-play voice of the football and men’s basketball teams and host of the Greg Robinson and Jim Boeheim shows. The native of Chittenango, N.Y. has also been a broadcaster in professional baseball, including stints in Syracuse, Rochester, Binghamton, Auburn and the San Diego Padres.
Former Orange All-American Chris Gedney ’93 is in his second season as the game analyst. A 1992 All-American tight end at SU, Gedney went on to play 1993-2000 in the National Football League with the Bears and Cardinals.
As he has done since 2001, MacPherson brings his passion for college football and people to pre- and post-game shows. Named national coach of the year after leading the Orange to an 11-0 season in 1987, MacPherson coached the New England Patriots 1991-92.
Show host and reporter Brian Higgins ’04 is in his third season on the network. The Latham, NY product is also the voice of SU’s women’s basketball and men’s lacrosse and has also called games for baseball’s Syracuse Chiefs and Tri-City ValleyCats.
Each game production begins three hours before kickoff with interactive and informative shows, including a live presentation from the SU quad prior to Orange home games.
“The Greg Robinson Show” airs each Wednesday night during the season from 8:05 to 9:00 p.m. Coach Robinson and host Matt Park discuss the Orange’s previous game, preview the next match-up and answer e-mails from fans. Questions and comments can be submitted any time via the Radio Mailbox on suathletics.com. In addition, some of the biggest names in the game stop by to visit. Past guest include championship coaches Mack Brown, Pete Carroll and Dick Vermeil, Orange legends Tim Green and Paul Frase, and nationally-known sportscasters Bob Costas and Mike Tirico.
Additionally, Robinson, athletics director Dr. Daryl Gross and game broadcasters make regular weekly appearances on the popular “Gomez and Dave” morning show.
Network programming is produced and distributed by nationally-recognized International Sports Properties, Inc. (ISP) of Winston-Salem, N.C.
