NOTRE DAME, Ind. – The University of Notre Dame athletics department has partnered with the LeSEA Broadcasting Network, making WHME-FM and Pulse FM the radio home of Notre Dame women’s basketball and baseball in the South Bend market.

LeSEA will originate all Notre Dame women’s basketball games, with those events carried on Pulse FM 96.9/92.1.

Notre Dame baseball broadcasts also will be originated by LeSEA and carried on WHME 103.1 FM.

“Notre Dame has had a great history with the LeSEA stations,” said Jack Swarbrick, Notre Dame athletics director. “Both the women’s basketball and baseball programs at Notre Dame started on the radio with LeSEA, and we’re excited to be back with them once again.”

Women’s basketball and baseball game broadcasts are streamed live on Notre Dame’s official athletics Web site at www.und.com.

The agreement also includes extensive Notre Dame athletics promotion aired on a combination of the LeSEA stations.

Bob Nagle is expected to be the play-by-play voice of Notre Dame women’s basketball. Chuck Freeby will handle the play-by-play role for baseball broadcasts.
