Husker Sports Network, the multimedia rights partner of the University of Nebraska and an IMG College property, today announced a partnership extension with News Radio 1110 KFAB that will keep Nebraska Cornhusker football on the powerful Omaha station through 2014.

“Aligning with a radio station known for its strong presence in Omaha and across the region is important to University of Nebraska Athletics,” said Tom Osborne, NU Athletic Director. “We appreciate KFAB’s commitment to supporting the Cornhuskers and are delighted to continue our long and historic bond. Nebraska football Saturdays on KFAB is a great part of our state’s culture.”

“Husker Sports Network is proud to continue its excellence in radio broadcasting by extending this partnership,” said David Witty, General Manager, Husker Sports Network. “KFAB’s signal and history with the Huskers are important to Big Red fans and we’re proud to continue this relationship for listeners in the Omaha area.”

In addition to football, the extension will allow Nebraska men’s basketball to remain on KFAB through the 2014-15 season, and men’s baseball through the 2015 season. Clear Channel’s KTWI-FM will continue as NU’s Omaha outlet for volleyball and women’s basketball.

“The University of Nebraska and KFAB have a longstanding relationship dating back to the 1920s,” said Taylor Walet, General Manager, KFAB. “This is more than a business deal for us. The Huskers are part of the family. We are thrilled to continue this partnership with the University and Dave’s team at the Husker Network.”

The new agreement began July 1, 2010 and will continue until June 30, 2015.
