The BearCast gets upgraded for the 2015 season

We are excited to announce several additions, updates, and upgrades to the BearCast for the 2015 season. The BearCast, introduced for the 2014 season, is a live, play-by-play audio broadcast of each Bear Football game. Have to miss a game? No need to worry about local radio stations covering the action.

Joining play-by-play announcer Steven Grace will be Voice of the Bears Mike Quinlan for color commentary. Mike has been the Voice of the Bears for the video recording of the game for many years and is excited to step into the radio broadcast arena. Steven and Mike will join forces for a wonderful BearCast and local access video production.

Also joining Steven and Mike will be Jerry Fleagle, the original Voice of the Bears. Jerry joined Steven in the booth for the Bears' playoff games last season, but for this season, he will roam the West Branch sideline to provide on-field reports throughout the game as well as interview Coach Pedersen and other coaches at half time and after the game.

"I am thrilled to have Steven and Mike get together, plus the addition of Jerry on the sideline will take it over the top. We are in the fortunate situation where we have a great community of fans and they deserve to be able to keep up with the games wherever they are - this is perfect for that. There was an overwhelming response to the BearCast last season and we are looking forward to it continuing this season." -- Coach Pedersen

Thanks to everyone's support on Pear, we were able to purchase the equipment needed to facilitate these great additions. Thank you!

Just like last season, the BearCast is able to be streamed live here on WestBranchFootball.com or using the Mixlr app on your smartphone or tablet. Don't have Mixlr? Be sure to download it (iOS - Android) and follow West Branch Football so you're ready when the season starts.
