KRVS needs to be the Ragin Voice for Sports

KRVS needs to step it up.

K Ragin Voice of Sports

True. Is there still a director if broadcasting at UL?

Think this through. We all know “Lafayette” would be used with KRVS.

Part of the reason for a decline of fan support is the lack of media coverage of Cajun sports. Aside from Foote and Ragin Review, there really isn’t any. Pre-COVID, a UL fan could get almost six hours of UL coverage sprinkled in sports talk on some way between Stevie P., Foote, and Jay/Scott. It’s very sad.

Kind of ironic that when the university hired someone to do that, the coverage went even further down. Tax payer dollars well spent as usual

There is also a 1420 espn sports radio in hawaii.
I realize 1420 may not be espn anymore, but thisbwas a few yrs ago too

There are many public radio connected University run radio stations that do sports for the university they are connected with.

When Louisiana had competing newspapers looking for an audience (before granting official status) and when there were multiple radio outlets covering Louisiana Atletics KRVS could sit idly by and do nothing to promote the big picture.

That is no longer the case.

Time for the Ragin Voice of Sports to step up their game and fill the void.

One of the other things that needs to be done is to put pressure on the New Orleans market stations and outlets that refuse to cover anything Cajuns related even when it comes to Regional play. I don't expect constant coverage but the way they cover UL is professionally bankrupt

KRVS promote UL athletics like a flagship station?

Do you realize the cascade of pearl clutching you just instigated in Martin Hall?

Where are your manners?

That is simply not done here. Have some self-respect Turbine.

Didn't KRVS originally stand for "Radio Voice of Southwestern"? The "K" is used for radio stations west of the Mississippi. Is it an FM station? Where is it on the radio dial? How powerful is it? Can it truly be the voice of UL? Can the name be changed to KRVL, "Radio
Voice of Louisiana"?

How would pressure to New Orleans be applied. Beyond LSU, New Orleans has an FBS football program in Tulane having success. They have 2 D1 schools for basketball and baseball. Little time for schools out of the area. When I lived there, I did my best to promote the brand. I agree not having a local afternoon sports oriented radio show is a negative.

Well, how about KRUL? How difficult is it to change the call letters of a radio station?

Townsquare Media has absolutely killed local radio, and not just in Lafayette.

You want them to broadcast all athletics?

you want them to host shows?

24 hour ragin review?

When you come up with ____, it’s all in general terms. This isn’t politics. If you have a recommendation, make it. General statements do little
