“I was nervous to see how the fans would react to the audio-only web casts,” Kingsbury said. “I was very pleasantly surprised to see these numbers. We owe everything to the fans and the local advertisers who keep us in business doing these games.”

“We are having a blast doing these games and we hope it shows,” IdahoSports.com CEO/Owner Paul Kingsbury said. “I tell our guys to call the games like they would want to hear it. Don’t get fancy. Just have fun and give the folks at home a great broadcast. ”
