JACKSON
-- After a successful first season working with
Jackson's ESPN Radio 1240 AM covering football, basketball
and baseball, Derrel Palmer and his team will return for
a second
season of football beginning with tonight's game against
Mississippi College at Robinson-Hale Stadium. 
"I want to lay the foundation for a long-term relationship
between Millsaps and Jackson's ESPN Radio," Palmer
said. "I think the fans really enjoyed the coverage last
season as much as our staff did, and we want nothing more
than to bring that excitement back to the Majors this year."
Tonight's game will be broadcast live by a pair of familiar
faces in Russ Robinson and William Griffin who not only covered
all of the Majors' games last season, but Jackson Prep's
as well. Robinson will handle play-by-play
duties while Griffin will
add
color commentary. The pregame show begins at 6:30 p.m.
Beginning this Thursday night at 8 p.m., ESPN Radio will
host the Football Coach's Show live from the studio with
head coach Mike DuBose and selected guests. The show
will air every Thursday from 8-9 p.m.
Also on the air this year is the new "DP Show" which started
on Monday with host Palmer. The show airs live
from
4-6 p.m.
Monday through Friday and covers high schools and
colleges
around
the Jackson area.
Majors
fans are welcome to tune into 1240 AM or listen live online
