Tobacco Road Sports Radio, LLC has reached an agreement to produce and air North Carolina A&T Sports during the 2021-22 season in the Triad, the company announced Friday.
The production agreement will include broadcasting the entire A&T Football and Basketball schedules during the 2021-22 academic year, plus production of weekly coaches press conferences and coaches shows for both sports.
Tobacco Road Sports Radio will also produce “Aggie Pride Cast”, a weekly Facebook Watch show hosted by Brian Holloway, Associate Athletic Director for A&T. Aggie Pride Cast will be available via Facebook and YouTube.
“I can’t express how excited we are to partner with A&T and provide the Triad with multiple ways to enjoy Aggie athletics,” said Tobacco Road owner/founder Desmond Johnson. “I have assisted the Aggie program over the years with their sports programming and look forward to helping A&T move to yet another level.”
A&T moved from the MEAC conference to the Big South conference this year. A&T did not play football in 2020 due to risks associated with Covid-19. The Aggies come into the Big South having won four out of the last five Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) titles. The Aggies are led by Head Coach Sam Washington.
Games will air locally on WWBG 1470AM in Guilford County. Online games will be streamed at TobaccoRoadSportsRadio.com. The Aggies open the 2021 season Sept 4th vs Furman with a 2pm kickoff.
