Rockland –106.9 FRANK FM, WBQX will broadcast local high school basketball for a 15th straight year beginning Friday, December 6th when the defending Southern Maine Class B Champion Oceanside Mariners host the Cony Rams in a boys matchup in Rockland. Veteran broadcaster Don Shields will again lead the coverage and will be joined by Terry Spear and Chris Seavey for the 35-game regular season schedule that includes calling games from Oceanside, Medomak Valley, Camden Hills, Lincoln Academy, and Boothbay High Schools.
106.9 FRANK FM is also planning on broadcasting selected games involving these same schools during the High School Basketball Tournaments this upcoming February. And every game will be streamed on their website 1069FRANK.com
Heath Cole, EVP of Programming and Operations for Binnie Media, is proud to celebrate 15 years of 106.9 FRANK FM being the home of High School Basketball in Mid Coast Maine. “High School Basketball is a cornerstone of our community, and the passion from fans and sponsors alike has been incredible. With ongoing limits on attendance at games, we’re thrilled to bring the excitement directly to listeners and ensure everyone can be part of the action this season.”
Shields, who is also the voice of the University of Maine Women’s Basketball team, has been the voice of Midcoast Maine High School sports since 1985, during which time he has called more than 1750 high school games. Spear has been covering basketball for nearly 3 decades in the Midcoast, Biddeford, and Bath-Brunswick markets. Seavey, a former Rockland District High School Standout, has more than two decades of on-air experience.
