Frank 106.9 FM to broadcast high school basketball
106.9 FRANK FM, WBQX based in Rockland will broadcast local high school basketball for a 13th straight year beginning Friday, Dec. 9 when the defending state champion Oceanside girls travel to Waldoboro to take on Medomak Valley .
Veteran broadcaster Don Shields will again lead the coverage and will be joined by Terry Spear and Chris Seavey for the 32-game regular season schedule that includes calling games from Oceanside, Medomak Valley, Camden Hills, Lincoln Academy, and Boothbay Region.
106.9 FRANK FM is also planning on broadcasting selected games involving these same schools during the high school basketball tournaments this upcoming February. And every game will be streamed on their website 1069FRANK.com
Michael Czarnecki, vice president of Programming for Binnie Media is pleased that 106.9 FRANK FM is continuing the tradition of being the home of high school basketball in Midcoast Maine.
“People are passionate about high school basketball and the response to our coverage from fans and sponsors has been outstanding,” he said. “And we also know that more people will be tuned again this year as many schools are limiting the number of fans that can attend games.”
Shields, who is also the voice of the University of Maine women’s basketball team, has been the voice of Midcoast Maine High School sports since 1985, during which time he has called more than 1,750 high school games. Spear has been covering basketball for more than two decades in the Midcoast, Biddeford and Bath-Brunswick markets. Seavey, a former Rockland District High School standout, has more nearly two decades of on-air experience.
