For the women's basketball team and first-year coach Bonnie Henrickson, the media spotlight will shine even brighter during the 2004-2005 season.
Yesterday, the KU Athletics Department announced a basketball television package that will make the lajhawks one of the most televised women's basketball programs in the country.
According to the plan, 18 of Kansas' games will be televised, including four nationally. The four national telecasts will consist of home games against Nebraska and Kansas State and road games against Kansas State
and Texas. Fox Sports Net will carry the Nebraska game and the Kansas State road game. College Sports Television (CSTV) will broadcast the other two national games.
"We're excited that our fans will be able to follow us so closely throughout the season," Henrickson said.
The Jayhawks will also see greater radio coverage in Kansas City.
Radio stations KMBZ-AM 980 and XKTR-AM 1660 will work together to broadcast all of the Kansas women's basketball games live, Athletics Department officials and ESPN Plus announced. This marks the first time all games will be aired live in Kansas City.
"We're very excited that our Entercom radio affiliate in Kansas City is strengthening its partnership with KU athletics," Lew Perkins, athletics director, said. "And we are particularly pleased that the women's basketball program will get the coverage in Kansas City we know it deserves."
The full schedule of women's basketball games will also be broadcast on Ja Hawkw Radio Network affiliate stations in Lawrence, Topeka and Wichita.
Jayhawk Radio Network will also air a weekly call-in show with Henrickson. The network already hosts similar shows for football coach Mark Mangino, men's basketball coach Bill Self and Perkins.
Angela Haar, general manager of ESPN Plus at the University, which operates the Jayhawk Radio Network, said she was pleased to be able to extend and expand the coverage of KU sports in Kansas City.
The Jayhawks posted a 9-19 record (2-14 in the Big 12) in 2003-2004, and Kansas has not reached the postseason since the 1999-2000 season.
Henrickson will spend the 2004-2005 season as the Kansas coach after leaving Virginia Tech, where she compiled a 158-62 record during seven seasons. The Hokies recorded at least 20 wins in each of her seasons and made seven postseason appearances.
