WNAX

For the 17th consecutive year, all Jackrabbit football and men's basketball games will be broadcast live on WNAX radio. WNAX is the "Official Station" for SDSU sports. WNAX is a member of the Roy H. Park Broadcasting group. On the air 24-hours a day, WNAX is a 5,000 watt station which covers much of a five state area (Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa). It is located at 570 on the AM dial. "Voice of the Jackrabbits" Norm Hilson will again do the play-by-play with Jerry Oster providing the color commentary. Hilson had open heart surgery in 1983 but was back in _ the broadcast booth when football season began that fall. Hilson has been South Dakota Sportscaster of the Year four times, three times as picked by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association and another as picked by the South Dakota High School Coaches Association. Hilson has been with WNAX for 25-plus years since giving up a disc jockey job in the Twin Cities. A native of Valley City, ND, he is a graduate of Brown Broadcasting Institute in Minneapolis. He travels about 15,000 miles annually broadcasting sports events, including all SDSU football and men's basketball games. WNAX also carries a full schedule of high school football and baskeball, including heavy coverage during the playoff season. And even SDSU home games are a trip for Hilson-it's 270 mrles round trip from Yankton to Brook­ ings. WNAX is the only radio station which has originated play-by-play broadcasts of every game played in the history of the state high school girls basketball tournament. In addition to SDSU and high school events_ carried on WNAX, the station is a member of the Minnesota Twins and Minnesota Vikings radio networks and also fills in with an oc­ casional Nebraska Cornhusker football game. This will be the 22nd consecutive year WNAX has carried SDSU basketball. Hilson was Parade Marshall of the 1980 Hobo Day parade at SDSU.

KJJQ ALSO CARRIES PLAY-BY-PLAY For the second straight year, KJJQ radio, Volga-Brookings, will also provide live play-by­ play coverage of all SDSU football and basketball games. Sports director Kris Stephens will work with Steve Carlson in describing the action. KJJQ is an AM station located at 910 on the dial.
