Utah State Aggie Radio Network

610 KVNU is the flagship station for the Utah State Aggie Radio Network, which broadcasts football and men's basketball games. Al Lewis has handled play-by-play for both sports since 1989, and also doubles as program director and sports director of KVNU. During football season Craig Hislop provides color commentary, while that duty is filled by Rod Tueller during basketball season. Coverage of Aggie games includes a two-hour pregame show during the football season beginning with the Touchdown Countdown (a pregame call-in show) but only a one-hour pregame show during the basketball season. Each pregame and postgame features interviews conducted by Lewis with players and coaches. Each postgame show is followed by Aggie Call, where Aggie fans call in and share their thoughts and opinions on the game.

Other Sports Programming

610 KVNU is also the home of Logan High Grizzly sports, featuring both football and boys basketball. Evan Nyman and Dave Simmons provide play by play during football season, while Dave Simmons covers basketball season. KVNU's coverage of the Grizzlies is the longest running radio/high school sports association in the state of Utah.

In addition to Logan High Sports, KVNU is a part of the Utah Jazz Radio Network and broadcasts all Jazz games that do not occur on nights with Logan High or Utah State Aggie games.
