  Help us welcome @espn700bill as our Director of Broadcasting! The radio voice of the Utes will join the athletics department full-time to help launch Utes’ digital broadcasts on Big 12 Now/ESPN+ 🙌

  This is cool news, thanks for sharing. I’m sure this is all part of Utah’s build-out of an on-campus television studio production.

  The only drawback is he will no longer be doing his daily program….Bummer.

  I thought you meant the Oakland Athletics and that he was going to be moving to Las Vegas. 🙂

    That’s what I though too! Clickbait!

  He is all right. He really needs to work on not walking on his co hosts.
  
  Personally I hope Sly gets a chance at this. He is great for the 700 broadcast team when they actually have his audio working.

  What does this do to KALL radio? Does Spence Checketts leave? Kall was a nice counterpoint to the BYUJazz station. I wouldn’t be surprised if KALL radio is sold to Smith. They need another station for the Hockey club. Maybe Bill Riley saw the writing on the wall and left. I have been listening to Utes info on KALL radio for 50 years.
