We are pleased to bring Zips fans a fresh, new FM home, while continuing a successful relationship with flagship station Sports Radio 1350 AM.”“WRQK is an icon in the Akron/Canton area and has tremendous loyalty and listeners,” said UA Senior Associate Athletics Director Hunter Yurachek. “We now feel we have a great radio presence being on a premier sports station, WARF (Sports Radio 1350), and one of the most powerful FM stations in the area, WRQK.”The festivities leading up to kickoff begin Thursday night (Aug. 28) at 7 pm with the first installment of “Zips Live” at the Winking Lizard in Fairlawn.

Steve French will once again bring you the play-by-play with Frank Stams adding his analysis and Joe Dunn reporting from the sideline.

1350am is 5,000 watts Day and Night, which makes it the most powerful AM station in Summit county. There is an FCC mandated "NULL" to the southwest. WARF/Akron must protect it's signal from a station in Kentucky. That Null makes the signal difficult to hear along the I-77 White Pond to Route 18 area. Wadsworth is also lost, for the most part. With a good AM reciever you should have no problems. Sometimes an external AM antanna will make a huge difference. 640am is 5,000 watts daytime and 500 directional at night. Meaning after Sunset WHLO reduces power and changes signal pattern. Want to hear the games on FM? Email here: keithkennedy@clearchannel.com.

The show will be hosted by Fred Moury and Sam Richardson. You can hear the show live on 1350am or online at SportsRadio 1350's Website
