Rattlers Radio Renewal Secures Nationwide Broadcasts
Florida A&M University has renewed its radio partnership with 96.1 Jamz to deliver live coverage of Rattlers football games throughout the 2026 season, ensuring that fans can follow every play no matter where they are.
The deal expands the broadcast footprint to include the Big Bend region, giving students, alumni, and surrounding communities unprecedented access to the team’s action on the field.
John F. Davis, FAMU’s Vice President and Director of Athletics, emphasized that the collaboration with Cumulus Media underscores a shared commitment to keeping the game within reach for every supporter.
Play‑by‑play announcer Bryan Fulford will call the action, while analyst Al Chester provides expert breakdowns, together delivering a rich, immersive listening experience.
Live games will also be streamed through the 96.1 Jamz mobile app and at 961jamz.com, allowing Rattler Nation across the country to tune in via FM radio, digital platforms, or the web.
This renewal not only preserves traditional radio coverage but also leverages modern distribution channels to meet the evolving habits of today’s fans, reinforcing the university’s dedication to accessibility and community engagement.
