"One of LEARFIELD SPORTS main strengths is their knowledge of radio and broadcast production as well as their ability to build strong statewide radio networks!" said the school's Dir./Athletics MARIO MOCCIA. "We asked them to deliver the AGGIES across the entire state of NEW MEXICO and in an unbelievably short period of time they have made great strides. While we are always looking at expanding (EL PASO, northern NEW MEXICO and Spanish language broadcasts) we are pleased with their strong start out of the gate. I am also pleased that our Olympic sports will receive coverage over the air as well which will continue the emphasis we place on their importance."
