West Virginia University has unveiled a sweeping expansion of its radio broadcast network ahead of the 2026 athletic season, enlisting a cluster of WVRC Media stations to deliver Mountaineer football, basketball and baseball to fans across the state.
The agreement brings together a diverse set of outlets — from the FM signal of WVAQ‑FM in Morgantown to the AM/FM combo of WAJR in the same city, and from WBRB‑FM in Clarksburg to WDNE‑FM in Elkins — ensuring that listeners in Morgantown, Clarksburg, Elkins, Martinsburg, Berkeley Springs and even Cumberland, Maryland, can tune in to live game action and weekly coaches’ shows.
Key frequencies include WVAQ‑FM (101.9) for football and men’s basketball, WAJR‑AM/FM (1440/104.5) for football, both basketball squads, baseball and the weekly coaches’ shows, WBRB‑FM (101.3) for football and men’s basketball, WFBY‑FM (93.5) for women’s basketball and baseball, and WDNE‑FM (98.9) for football, men’s basketball and the coaches’ segments. In the Martinsburg/Berkeley Springs corridor, WEPM‑AM/FM (1340/93.7), WXDC‑FM (92.9), WCST‑AM (1010) and W228DU‑FM (93.5) round out the coverage map.
Voices of Enthusiasm
Wren Baker, WVU’s Vice President and Director of Athletics, said the new network reflects a deepening partnership that will give Mountaineer fans reliable, high‑quality access to every game. Evan Hawkins, General Manager of Mountaineer Sports Properties, added that the expanded reach aligns with the university’s goal of delivering a premium listening experience. George Pelletier, President and CEO of WVRC Media, expressed excitement about the return of the Mountaineers to his stations and highlighted the collaborative spirit with Learfield and the university.
The arrangement is more than a technical upgrade; it signals a renewed commitment to regional sports broadcasting that will keep alumni, students and casual listeners alike connected to the heartbeat of West Virginia athletics throughout the year.
As the 2026 season approaches, the expanded radio footprint promises to turn every drive, commute and weekend gathering into an opportunity to cheer on the Mountaineers, cementing a stronger bond between the university and the communities it serves.
