Longhorn Sports Network
The 2004 season marks the
22nd year of a partnership between The University of Texas
and Host Communications. In addition to producing the
Texas Sports Radio Network, Host handles radio broadcasts
for the NCAA and numerous other major universities across
the country.
The Longhorn Sports Network
once again will provide complete in-depth, state-wide
coverage of UT football this
season. Craig Way is in his third season as the play-by-play
voice of the Longhorns after providing color analysis
for his first 10 years in the booth. Former UT football and baseball player
Keith Moreland is in his third season as the color analyst
and Roger Wallace, Sports Director at KXAN-TV for more than nine years, will serve as sideline reporter.
Way, known throughout the state
as an authority on Texas high school sports, joined
the network 16 years ago. He serves as the sports director
of Sports Radio 1300 The Zone and hosts a daily call-in
show from 2-4 p.m. Way served as the studio anchor for
UT football broadcasts from 1988-91.
Moreland played both football
and baseball for the Longhorns from 1973-75. A gridiron
letterman in 1973, he was most successful on the diamond.
A three-time first-team All-American, he helped lead
the Longhorns to the 1975 National Championship and
played 12 years in the Major Leagues for the Philadelphia
Phillies (1978-81), Chicago Cubs (1982-87), San Diego
Padres (1988), Detroit Tigers (1989) and Baltimore Orioles
(1989).
Wallace has been Sports Director at KXAN since April 1995. He began his career as weekend Sports Anchor at KSBY-TV in San Luis Obispo, Calif. and was Sports Director at KLTV in Tyler, Texas from June of 1987 to June of 1990. Prior to arriving in Austin, Wallace served as Sports Director at KAKE-TV in Wichita, Kansas. He was also the television play-by-play voice for Wichita State basketball and baseball. Wallace is a 1985 graduate of Indiana University.

video and rapid cuts, the show is a weekly dose of non-stop,
eye-catching action.
