GREELEY, Colo. – The University of Northern Colorado Athletics and KMKZ (93.5 FM Pirate Radio) announced an expansion with their partnership and the flagship station Monday.

"We are pleased to broaden our partnership with KMKZ," UNC Athletics Director Darren Dunn said. "I am appreciative of a Greeley station airing home and away men's basketball games. Through this partnership, we will create a new and exciting experience for our partner, the athletics department, and our fans.
"We are excited to continue to partner with the UNC Bears and bring our listeners closer to the heart of college basketball," KMKZ owner George Gray said. "This collaboration is a fantastic opportunity to support an NCAA Division I team in Northern Colorado and provide our audience unparalleled access to an exciting season. GO BEARS!"
Govero is originally from Festus, Missouri and is a Missouri State alum. He provided the play-by-play for the Colorado Spartans of the National Arena League radio and television simulcast this past season. Over the last two years, Govero hosted the morning sports report for KMKZ, covering UNC, the Rockies, Nuggets, Avalanche and all things sports-related along the Front Range. He's covered sports with multiple publications as a freelance sportswriter.
