A new radio home for Rider

Rider men’s and women’s basketball games will be broadcast on the university’s student radio station, the school announced Tuesday.

The university had been searching for a new radio home after WBUD switched from sports programing to religious programing, forcing the Broncs and the Thunder to search for other broadcast partners, a process still ongoing for the Thunder.

WBUD had carried Rider games for the previous six seasons. WRRC “The Bronc,” 107.7 FM will carry games this year, with Daryl Fein and Steve Rudenstein returning as the men’s play-by-play team and Jeff Nolan and Daryle Dobos again calling the women’s games.

The station reaches most of Mercer County and parts of Bucks County, and the games will still be streamed at www.gobroncs.com.

“By partnering with 107.7 The Bronc, not only will we reach a larger listening audience with our basketball game broadcasts than our previous station, but we’ll also be able to provide some of the Rider students who work at the radio station with a valuable learning experience,” associate director of athletics Karin Torchia said in a statement. “I think our fans will be pleased with the new station and the signal clarity and will look forward to listening to Rider basketball when they can’t be at the games in person.”
