(Wisconsin Rapids, WI) The Rafters and Wisconsin Rapids radio station WFHR (1320 AM) will partner to broadcast the Rafters Inaugural 2010 season. WFHR will provide live broadcasts of all 70 Rafters games at home and on the road this season.
“We’re very excited to be partnering with WFHR and to provide the opportunity for our fans to listen to the games that they may not be able to attend,” said Rafters general manager Liz Kern.
WFHR (1320 AM) serves the Wisconsin Rapids, Wausau, and Stevens Point areas. The call letters were derived from William F Huffman Sr., who founded the station in November 1940, originally broadcasting with 250 watts, on 1340 KHZ, until 1961, when the move to the present position took place, increasing daytime power to 5,000 watts. Over the years, WFHR’s programming emphasis has been on Local News, Sports & Information, including the long-running “Kaffee Klatsch” morning call-in program, hosted by Arnie Strope.
Rafters ticket packages and group tickets are on sale now! Single game tickets will go on sale on Saturday, May 8th. For more information call (715) 424-5400 or visit www.raftersbaseball.com. The Rafters will play a 70 game schedule with 35 home games in 2010. Opening Day at Witter Field is scheduled for Sunday, June 6 at 6:05pm vs. the Eau Claire Express.
