WLNX-FM sets Lincoln College Basketball broadcast schedule

[October 04, 2017] 

WLNX-FM (88.9), the Lincoln College owned and operated station, will broadcast 49 regular season basketball games during the 2017-2018 season, beginning with the both the women’s and men’s home opener on Saturday, November 1st, against Southeastern and Hannibal- LaGrange, respectively.

The slate includes all 28 men’s home and road games, along with 21 women’s games consisting mostly of home non-conference and nearly all home and away NJCAA conference games. WLNX will also air men’s Region 24 Tournament games March 8-10 in Danville, IL.

Lincoln College junior Nik Jackson of Springfield begins his third full season as the play-by-play voice of the Lynx, while sophomore John Antoine of Springfield will begin his second season providing color commentary. Both students are pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Radio, Television, and New Media while enrolled at Lincoln College.

“Nik is an outstanding student broadcaster who brings a high level of excitement to the broadcasts,” said John Malone, Associate Professor and WLNX-FM General Manager. “John has also become a good fit. The on air chemistry has really gelled.” In addition to his duties for WLNX, Jackson for the past two seasons has handled audio play-by-play duties each summer for the Springfield Sliders baseball team.

In addition to the FM signal in the Lincoln area, WLNX is also on the iHeartRadio digital platform, allowing the broadcasts to be picked up anywhere in the world. Listeners can download the app for free and then enter WLNX in the iHeartRadio search bar.
