KENS To Carry UTSA Inaugural Football Season

Belo Corp.’s CBS affiliate KENS San Antonio, Texas (DMA 37) has signed a TV partnership deal with the University of Texas at San Antonio Athletics. The partnership coincides with the university’s inaugural football season.

“We are very pleased and happy to be a part of UTSA’s inaugural football season,” said Bob McGann, KENS president and general manager. “We look forward to spreading support and excitement for all of Roadrunners athletics.”

UTSA kicks off its 11-game football season Sept. 3 inside the Alamodome against Northeastern State.

Head football coach Larry Coker said the partnership will help provide much needed publicity to his new team.

“Let’s face it, we’re all living on a vision right now,” he said. “We have recruits on a vision, coaches on a vision, but as people see this, the vision will become a reality.”
