Manchester Monarchs Hockey Moves To WGAM, UNH Sports To WGIR

[Mark Watson]

  According to an article in the New Hampshire Union Leader, the Manchester 
Monarchs AHL hockey team's radio broadcasts will be moving from WGIR (who 
aired the games the past 7 seasons) to WGHM (900 Nashua) which simulcasts on 
WGAM (1250 Manchester). The Union Leader article says that 1250's calls are 
WKBR, which they haven't been for a while, and has 900 as WGAM, they are now 
WGHM. Also interesting to note that when there are conflicts with Red Sox or 
Patriots games, Monarchs hockey will be bumped to sister station WSMN, which 
doesn't get too far at night (when a fair amount of the games air) from it's 
temporary TX site diplexing off the WGHM tower in downtown Nashua.

  The article also mentions that University of NH football, mens's hockey, 
plus selected women's hockey, men's and women's basketball games will air on 
WGIR starting this Fall. The article doesn't mention it but I believe WFEA 
was the Manchester UNH sports affiliate the past few years. The article also 
mentions that the UNH sports flagship station continues to be WTSN, which 
covers Dover, Rochester & Plymouth. (I think they meant Portsmouth).
