YSU fans can once again listen to all 11 Youngstown State football game broadcasts on 570 WKBN this season starting with next Friday’s opener at Michigan State. Bob Hannon will return for his 21st season as the Penguins’ play-by-play announcer, while former NFL lineman and Youngstown businessman Ed Muransky is back for his second season. They will begin their coverage of each game 30 minutes prior to kickoff with the “A.S.E.C.U. Pre-Game Show”.

He will also wrap up each broadcast with the “Fifth Quarter Call-In Show” that follows the “Prima Express Care Post-Game Show”.
After all YSU home games this season, you can watch a replay on MyYTV beginning at 8 p.m. and again on Sunday's at noon. Krispinsky will handle the play-by-play duties with former YSU wide receiver Elliott Giles stepping in as the color analyst.
