Pocatello, ID--- "Dinner with Larry Lewis" will kickoff its season on Monday August 25 at 7:00 pm live from Perkins Family Restaurant on the corner of Olympus and Pocatello Creek Road. The show will be broadcast for the first time on Kool Oldies 94.9 KPKY FM throughout Southeast Idaho. For the past five years the show has been broadcast on 1240 KWIK, with a more limited AM signal.
The show is hosted by Dave Reichelt, the Voice of the Bengals, along with Brad Bugger, who supplies ISU's color commentary. Larry Lewis is entering his fifth season at the helm of the Bengals. Idaho State is currently ranked #10 in the latest ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll, and 11th in the Sports Network Media Poll.
"I think it's great that Clear Channel has moved our coaches' shows to 94.9 FM," said Rick Furr, Assistant Athletic Director for Advertising, Marketing, and Corporate Sales. "This move provides wider coverage in the Southeast Idaho market and thus allows our coaches' shows to reach more Bengal fans."
KPKY is the flagship station for Bengal football & men's basketball. KPKY will be giving away prizes to those in attendance, and Perkins has brought in televisions so patrons can watch Monday Night Football after "Dinner with Larry Lewis". Fans can call into the broadcast at 233-1133.
