Ferris State Friday's Going "HUGE" - Live Statewide This Fall On "The HUGE Show"
Big Rapids, Mich. - Ferris State University Athletics has announced a partnership with one of Michigan's most popular sports talk shows as "Ferris State Friday's" will be heard live across the state this fall on "The Huge Show".
"Ferris State Friday's" will air at approximately 5:45.m. (ET) every Friday afternoon as part of "The Huge Show", which is hosted by longtime radio personality Bill Simonson and broadcast live from West Michigan sports leader 107.3 WBBL in Grand Rapids. The short weekly segment will feature a live interview with a Bulldog guest and the partnership also includes commercial air time and more.
Along with being heard live on WBBL, the weekly interview will also air statewide across the "Huge Show" Network, which consists of 11 other affiliates across the state of Michigan in locations including Alma/Mount Pleasant, Ann Arbor, Benton Harbor/St. Joseph, Cadillac, Flint, Holland, Kalamazoo, Lansing, Midland, Petoskey and Houghton/Hancock.
This fall, the "Ferris State Friday's" segment will be presented again by Crankers Restaurant & Brewery with locations in Grand Rapids, Big Rapids and Mount Pleasant.
Bulldog football head coach Tony Annese will be the first featured guest and recap the Bulldogs' season opener on this coming week's "Ferris State Friday's", which airs on Friday (Sept. 2). It continues a partnership with WBBL, which formerly ran the segment as part of its morning sports show the past three seasons.
"This is an outstanding opportunity to build on our partnership with WBBL and allow fans across the state to hear from our coaches on The Huge Show Network," said FSU Associate Athletic Director Jon Coles. "Huge is one of the most listened to sports talk show hosts in the Midwest and we're thrilled to partner with him as we continue to elevate our brand."
The Huge Show airs weekdays from 3-7 p.m. (ET) and can also be heard live online atwww.wbbl.com. The show, which is hosted by longtime sports broadcaster Bill Simonson, has been on the air for more than 12 years on flagship station 107.3 WBBL.

The partnership with WBBL for "Ferris State Friday's" is part of a continued and expanded broadcast effort established by FSU Athletics, which began with its flagship home of the Bulldog Sports Network, Sunny 97.3 FM, in Big Rapids.
