WISH To Air Two Butler Men’s Basketball Games

Media General-owned CW affiliate WISH Indianapolis (DMA 27), will carry Butler University’s two men’s basketball exhibitions — versus Taylor University on Saturday, Oct. 31, at 2 p.m.; and versus Saint Joseph’s (Indiana) on Saturday, Nov. 7, at 7 p.m.

Anthony Calhoun, WISH sports director, will handle the play-by-play, and will be joined by Ralph Reiff, the executive director of St. Vincent Sports Performance who formerly worked on the Butler staff. The duo have worked together on Butler broadcasts over the years.

“We greatly appreciate the partnership with WISH-TV to broadcast our two exhibitions to a large Indiana audience,” said Barry Collier, Butler VP/director of athletics. “This is a great complement to our regular season schedule, which will be broadcast nationally in its entirety.”

“We are pleased to welcome the Bulldogs back to WISH-TV for these two games,” said Les Vann, WISH president-GM. “We have enjoyed a great relationship with Butler over the years and we’re excited for it to continue in this way.  These games further WISH-TV’s on-going commitment to localism and local sports.”
