CROWN POINT, IN (8-26-2008) - Meyer Multimedia Services on behalf of American Family Radio and Internet Radio station www.USA-365.com have renewed their agreement to broadcast all Crown Point High School football games during the 2008 high school season on WWLO (89.1) FM, licensed to Lowell, IN, as well as Internet Radio USA-365.com.

This Friday's (August 29) Crown Point at Hobart football game already marks week-2 of the 2008 broadcast season for WWLO and USA-365.com. Every Friday night, live coverage begins with a pregame show at 6:30 a.m. (CT) and the kick-off is at 7:00 p.m., CT.

WWLO is a Christian radio station broadcasting programming of the American Family Radio (AFR) network 24 hours a day. Meyer Multimedia Services is a division of Meyer Broadcasting Corporation, which is owned by John Meyer, the former owner of WWJY (103.9) FM in Crown Point. Meyer announced the renewal agreement with American Family Radio this week, and adds that the Friday night coverage will include the Indiana University Coach's Show with IU head coach Bill Lynch after the high school postgame show, at approximately 9:45 or 10:00 p.m., CT.

USA-365.com, now in its sixth year of Internet audio streaming of Crown Point High School football games, will continue streaming in a simulcast mode with the broadcast signal of WWLO. Plans are to continue the FM sports coverage on Friday nights into the winter basketball season and beyond.

"We're looking at this as a long term investment in building a solid relationship with American Family Radio in order to provide this level of community service," said Meyer. "We know they don't do this with many of their stations around the country, so we count it a privilege to be able to offer our sports programming for local broadcast."

In addition to live Internet audio streaming, USA-365.com posts podcasts (mp3 audio file downloads) of Crown Point sports at www.USA-365.com. The web site has also been posting high school sports stories the past six years covering primarily the high schools in South Lake County, including Crown Point, Lowell, Hanover Central, Boone Grove and Andrean.

CPHS football game broadcasts on WWLO and www.USA-365.com begin each Friday with a 30-minute pregame show at 6:30 p.m. and includes a halftime report and postgame analysis.

WWLO (89.1 MHz, 2.4-KW @ 253' HAAT) can be heard throughout Lake, Porter, Jasper and Newton County and the station will air the entire Crown Point High School football schedule in 2008.

Meyer Multimedia Services is also the local sports production company for live play-by-play coverage of Indiana University football on WWLO - 89.1 FM.
