The University of Houston Department of Intercollegiate Athletics has announced the line up of Radio and Television shows for the 2011 football season and are excited to have Fox Sports Houston and UH alum Kevin Eschenfelder serving as host for both programs.
The Pulse Radio Show is a weekly live one-hour call-in program that will take place each Tuesday from 7-8 p.m. CT. and will be broadcast on KBME-AM 790. Each show is broadcast from an area restaurant, including Ragin' Cajun on Richmond and in Sugar Land, Home Plate Grill, Irma's Southwest Grill and Moody Towers Dining Hall on campus.
Fans are encouraged to attend these shows in person, but also have the opportunity to take part by calling in (1-877-477-9080), emailing questions in advance or tweeting your questions to @UHCougarFB (using #ThePulse).
The Cougar Insider, the official television show of the Houston Athletic Department, will be aired on Fox Sports Houston as well as other Fox Sports affiliates this season. The 30-minute show featuring UH football and the athletic department will initially air every Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. on FS-Houston. On Fridays, the show will air on three different Fox affiliates, including 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on FS-Houston, and 1:30 p.m. central time on FS-Southwest and SportSouth.
The format of the show includes highlights of the Cougars' previous game, a preview to the upcoming opponent, features on UH student-athletes and a look around the Houston Athletics Department.
Eschenfelder served as host for the Cougar Insider series in 2010-11 and is a natural fit to move into the radio show as well. He is a born and raised Houston native and a 1990 graduate of the University of Houston. Since his graduation, Eschenfelder has served as play-by-play announcer for Rice and Houston Baptist, the host of Fox Sports Houston's Rockets Live and Astros Live. While with Fox Sports Southwest, he hosted pre and postgame shows for the Dallas Mavericks, San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Stars and Texas Rangers.
