Wisconsin State Journal

You won't be able to hear University of Wisconsin hockey games on
WTSO Radio (1070 AM) after this season.
This was the decision of David Graupner, the station's vice
president and general manger.
"We're going to drop hockey," Grauper said Thursday. "It's
duplicated programming of what WIBA (1310 AM) is already providing. We
made the decision to concentrate on professional sports rather than college
sports."
The move ends a 20-year tradition of broadcasting Badgers hockey.
Sports director Jack Swanson and Wisconsin State Journal sports editor Bill
Brophy have teamed to do the broadcasts for the past five season. Swanson,
who has broadcast UW hockey for nine seasons, will be leaving the station
April 7.
"We'll continue to have a commitment to sports," Graupner said.
"One of the most immediate moves is we'll be carrying more Milwaukee Bucks
games on the air. We were bumping games that couldn't be heard anywhere
else in town to broadcast a hockey game that is broadcast on another
station in town."

No word on how this will affect the Badger Hockey Radio Network or -The
Jeff Sauer Show- with Jack Swanson and Bill Brophy on WKOW (TV 27).
WTSO lost Badger Football and Men's Basketball to WIBA and WOLX (94.9 FM)
last year.
