The 2026 football season will see Tarleton State’s entire slate of twelve games carried by KSTV Cowboy 93 (93.1 FM), the university’s flagship radio partner. In a move designed to broaden community access, the broadcasts will also be rebroadcast on KTRL 90.5 FM and streamed live at TarletonSports.com/Watch, giving fans multiple pathways to follow the action from anywhere in the region.
At the helm of the play‑by‑play booth is Byron Anderson, Tarleton State’s Associate Athletic Director for External Relations, who returns for his eleventh consecutive season of commentary. Anderson’s voice has become synonymous with the program, guiding listeners through every drive and decisive moment with the depth of experience that only a decade of coverage can provide.
The Voices Behind the Airwaves
Joining Anderson in the commentary box is Kyle Masters, a former Tarleton State tight end and member of the Athletics Hall of Fame, who begins his ninth straight year as color analyst. Masters blends former on‑field grit with sharp insight, offering viewers a perspective that bridges past achievement and present strategy.
Sideline reporter Keltin Wines rounds out the trio, entering his fifth consecutive season on the broadcast team and his tenth overall with the network. Wines’ on‑the‑ground reporting adds a layer of immediacy, capturing the energy of the crowd and the nuances of each play as it unfolds.
The season opens on August 29 with a showdown against Prairie View A&M at Memorial Stadium, a contest that will crown the inaugural Chancellor’s Cup. The trophy, introduced by the Texas A&M System, celebrates the first victory of the year among its member institutions, adding a new layer of rivalry and pride to the opening weekend.
Beyond the games themselves, the partnership reflects a broader ambition to elevate Tarleton State Athletics within the local community and beyond. By securing a reliable broadcast home on KSTV Cowboy 93 and its affiliates, the university hopes to deepen engagement, attract new supporters, and showcase the growing competitiveness of its football program.
