Our Approach
Dedicated to broadcasting live local sports including Missouri State and Drury hockey, and other sports entertainment, WebSports Radio uses the internet, webcasting, and terrestrial radio as the most efficient way to cover events in Southwest Missouri and other areas.
Our Story
Since 2005, our goal has been to combine web-based and over-the-air sports broadcasting to allow listeners to see and hear sports events regardless of location.
WebSports Radio has partnered with Meyer Communications in Springfield, Missouri to simulcast games on KBFL 96.9 FM/1060AM and JOCK 98.7 FM.
All broadcasts are transmitted over a low-power FM radio transmitter (99.1 FM) inside the venue (both home and away) so that fans who attend the games can hear them live.
