Starting with the 2025 Michigan Football season, 94.7 WCSX will carry the full power of the Maize and Blue across Southeast Michigan. That’s every football, men’s basketball, and men’s hockey game, along with coaches’ shows and exclusive Wolverine content, all broadcast on Detroit’s Classic Rock Station.
“This is a huge moment,” said Kevin Rich, VP of Operations at Beasley Media Group. “Michigan’s fan base is second to none, and 94.7 WCSX is the perfect home for the kind of legacy programming Michigan Athletics delivers. Go Blue!”
Wolverine fans can expect more than just play-by-play. 94.7 WCSX will bring the U of M energy across our airwaves, online, and in-person—through exclusive interviews, digital features, weekly highlights, and behind-the-scenes coverage that brings you closer to the games than ever before.

Plus, over on 105.1 The Bounce, select Women’s Basketball games will be featured throughout the regular season and postseason, so the full roster of Michigan greatness gets the spotlight it deserves.

“We’re honored to bring these two institutions together,” said Patti Taylor, VP and Market Manager of Beasley Media Group Detroit. “94.7 WCSX is Detroit. Michigan is Michigan. This partnership just makes sense.”
Football voices Jon Jansen and Doug Karsch will stay on the mic for the play-by-play, keeping that tradition strong as the Wolverines charge into the new season.

Matt’s been in the media game his whole life. He kicked things off at WOVI, his high school station in Novi, MI, then hit the airwaves at Impact 89FM while at Michigan State. But after realizing he didn’t quite have the voice for radio, he made the jump to TV—spending 23 years working for CBS, FOX, and NEWSnet. Now, he’s come full circle, back in radio as Detroit’s Digital Program Director, making noise behind the scenes and keeping things running strong online.
