MIAMI – FIU football broadcasts will have a new look in the booth and audio streams will air on the newly formed Panther Online Network, which will make its debut for the 2024 season opener, when FIU travels to battle Big Ten member Indiana on Saturday, August 31.
FIU football audio broadcasts will be moving exclusively to the new Panther Online Network, a free service free which can be accessed by phone, laptop, tablet or any device with internet access. All audio streams will begin 15 minutes prior to kick off with a pregame show and concluded with a 15-minute postgame wrap up.
The Panther Online Network can be accessed by visiting
fiusports.com/listen.
All audio broadcasts will be archived and available on demand shortly after the completion of each contest.
FIU football telecasts will also have a new look this season as a new rotation of play-by-play announcers and analysts familiar with south Florida sports fans will take to the air to call Panthers' games in 2024.
Joining the broadcast team for select games will be Steve Goldstein, the veteran play-by-play voice for the reigning Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers and voice of the Miami Dolphins preseason telecasts. Former Miami Dolphins' standout and current analyst for the Dolphins' preseason games, Kim Bokamper, will also be a part of select FIU football television and audio telecasts this fall.
Other new additions include Zach Letson, who has served as a commentator for FIU Athletics over the past year for numerous sports and previously served as a broadcaster for the Division I Junior College World Series and NAIA Lacrosse Championships. Finally, former FIU football tight end
Jackson McDonald will also join the mix as an on-air analyst.
The new members of the broadcast teams will join the returning voices of the Panthers' AJ Ricketts and Corey Brooks, who both will return to call Panthers' games on both select television and radio broadcasts. In addition, guest analyst Billy Gil will return after appearing on a number of broadcasts in 2023. Gil is a former FIU track and field standout and currently is a senior producer and on-air talent for the Dan Le Batard Show.
Four of the Panthers' six home games will air on either ESPN+ or one of ESPN's primary networks, while the remaining two home contests vs. Sam Houston (Oct. 22) and New Mexico State (Oct. 29) will be broadcast nationally on ESPNU and CBS Sports Network respectively.
UP NEXT
The Panthers open the 2024 regular season on Saturday, August 31 in Bloomington, Ind., in a 3:30 p.m. kickoff on the Big Ten Network against Indiana.
