Washington State University’s athletics department has announced a multi‑year agreement with 750 The Game (KXTG) to broaden Cougar Football coverage throughout the Portland and Vancouver markets. The partnership leverages Connoisseur Media’s extensive network and the station’s strong signal to bring Cougar games to a wider audience.
Under the deal, every game will be aired live on 750 The Game, with pre‑game previews and post‑game analysis also featured. Fans can follow the action through the WSU Cougars Gameday app, WSUCougars.com, and SiriusXM satellite radio, ensuring multiple pathways to tune in.
The broadcast team will be anchored by play‑by‑play announcer Chris King, analyst Alex Brink, and sideline reporter Jessamyn McIntyre. Host Derek Deis will lead pre‑game and post‑game coverage, joined by former Cougars Grady Emmerson and Billy Newman for expert insights.
Expanding the Fan Experience
The collaboration is designed to increase WSU’s visibility among alumni, current supporters, and future students across the Pacific Northwest. By tapping into Portland’s vibrant sports culture and the station’s reach, the university hopes to strengthen its connection with the region’s Cougar community.
The season opener is slated for September 6, with coverage beginning two hours before kickoff, setting the stage for an extensive broadcast schedule that will run throughout the year.
