Also just announced, Illinois State football and men’s basketball game broadcasts will return to the Decatur air waves for the first time in nearly a decade, as Redbird Athletics and WDZ-AM 1050 “The Fan” signed a partnership adding the Neuhoff Media station as an affiliate of the Redbird Radio Network.
WDZ will carry select Illinois State football games and the majority of the Redbird men’s basketball season. A final broadcast schedule will be issued at a later date.
