HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. – The 2019-20 Northern Kentucky men's basketball team returns to the airways of iHeart Media in a partnership that places every Norse basketball games on one of four local stations, ESPN1530, FOXSports1360, 55KRC and The Project (100.7/106.3 FM).
 
All 30 regular-season contests and every postseason matchup will air on a combination of iHeart stations. And, Northern Kentucky's exhibition against Transylvania is also going to be carried this season on FOXSports1360.
 
Nearly half of NKU's games are slated to be broadcast on ESPN1530. All 14 of those contests occur during the Horizon League portion of the schedule. Six games are currently set for both FOXSports1360 and 55KRC. Three games will air on The Project and two are yet to be determined.
 
Northern Kentucky plays Transylvania on Oct. 30 in the team's lone public exhibition of the preseason. A November 5 showdown with UC Clermont lifts the lid on the 2019-20 campaign. The 7 p.m. matchup will air on The Project.
 
Jim Kelch and Steve Moeller will once again serve as broadcasters. The duo has been calling Norse men's basketball games since the 2012-13 season.
 
NKU was selected to finish second in the Horizon League preseason poll, marking the third-straight year the Norse were projected to close the season as the league's runner-up. However, in each of the two previous seasons, Northern Kentucky defied the prognostications and won the regular season. Jalen Tate earned preseason first team honors, while Tyler Sharpe was awarded second team accolades.
