KNTS-AM to Broadcast Trojan Football; New Station is Part of the USC Football Radio Network

Ken Miller, general manager of KNTS-AM, said, "We are delighted to be chosen by the Trojans to exclusively air these 12 football classics. The Bay area is home to a large contingent of USC alumni and fans, and we'll offer them a great way to stay connected. This is the kind of programming we will be bringing listeners who value intelligent talk, news and sports."

In addition to the Saturday games, the "USC Insider Show" will air on KNTS-AM at 7 p.m. on Tuesdays during the football season, with Pete Arbogast and ex-USC tailback Petros Papadakis broadcasting live from USC's Heritage Hall. An interview with USC head coach Pete Carroll will be featured each week.
