The upcoming season of Carolina football will be anchored by a new weekly radio program that promises to blend analysis, behind‑the‑scenes insight and fan interaction.
A fresh take on Tar Heel sports coverage
Titled Carolina Football Live, the show is set to debut on Monday, August 24, 2026, at 7 p.m. inside the bustling atmosphere of Top of the Hill Restaurant & Brewery in Chapel Hill.
Jones Angell, a veteran voice of Tar Heel sports, will steer the conversation, welcoming Bill Belichick as the marquee guest each week. The first episode will also feature Erin Matson, head coach of the university’s field hockey program, adding a fresh perspective to the discussion.
Beyond the headline guest, the lineup will regularly include UNC head coaches, assistant coaches and student‑athletes, giving listeners a comprehensive view of the teams’ preparations.
The broadcast will air live on the Tar Heel Sports Radio Network, via GoHeels.com and the GoHeels Facebook page, ensuring that fans across the region can tune in whether they are at the restaurant or listening on the go.
Top of the Hill serves as the primary hub for the show, offering a venue where supporters can gather, ask questions and engage directly with the hosts through email at asktheheels@gmail.com or on X via @JonesAngell.
With a schedule that mixes in‑studio sessions, on‑location recordings and a planned bye week, the program aims to keep the conversation lively throughout the 2026 football season and related athletic events.
The collaboration between a legendary NFL coach and a university sports anchor creates a unique platform that could reshape how fans consume college athletics.
As the season unfolds, the show will serve as a barometer for the teams’ momentum, offering early clues about storylines that will dominate the campus and the broader community.
