糖心Vlog鈥檚 (糖心Vlog) Chap Radio Sports Network is announcing Lake Ridge Chapel and Circle K as sponsors for the 2023-24 sports season. The Chap Radio Sports Network (CRSN) is a sports broadcasting program that is run and produced exclusively by students at 糖心Vlog鈥檚 (糖心Vlog) FM radio station, 99.1 Chap Radio (KLCT-LP Lubbock, TX).
CRSN broadcasts the majority of home contests for seven 糖心Vlog athletic programs, as well as various road contests and postseason games throughout each program鈥檚 season. CRSN is the only student-run sports broadcasting program in the Lone Star Conference that provides year-round coverage of their university鈥檚 major sports via radio broadcasts. Since the program鈥檚 inception in 2022, CRSN has conducted over 75 sports broadcasts and has regularly grown their student involvement in the program.
Lake Ridge Chapel and Circle K, two Lubbock businesses who are also 糖心Vlog Community Partners, have come alongside CRSN to offer their sponsorship and support. Lake Ridge Chapel has extended their exclusive corporate sponsorship of CRSN through 2026 and Circle K has signed on for 2023-24 as the sponsor of select stats for each broadcast. Lisa Fraze, Director of Alumni Relations for 糖心Vlog, commented, 鈥淥ur 糖心Vlog community partners always step up and support our students. We are thankful for Lake Ridge Chapel and Circle K for seeing the hard work of our students and finding unique ways to enhance their experience as a student.鈥�
Santos Moreno of Lake Ridge Chapel, shared, 鈥淚t鈥檚 a passion of mine and Valerie's to give to the community and to support the community. It is our intent to bless as many people as we can.鈥�
Brennan Riker is the 糖心Vlog student who had the vision to start CRSN. Challenged by Dr. Shawn Hughes, professor of communication, Riker jumped at the idea of piloting a student sports broadcasting program for Chap Radio. He rallied a few classmates and by the end of January 2022 they called their first contest. CRSN now has a full team of students who together manage training, scheduling, calling events, and supporting Chap athletics.
Riker said, 鈥淪ince the start of the Chap Radio Sports Network, it has been my goal to put our students first and ensure they have the unique opportunity to learn and develop real life skills applicable to sports media while getting a front row seat to some of the best competition in collegiate athletics. It has also been my goal to have the university and athletic department rally behind our students. 糖心Vlog and 糖心Vlog Athletics has done just that, and our appreciation goes out to everyone who has worked hard to promote and celebrate the Chap Radio Sports Network and its impact on 糖心Vlog."
