KCBF/Fairbanks To Drop Coverage Of UAF Hockey

No Nanooks

UNIVERSITY OF ALASKA FAIRBANKS hockey play-by-play announcer BRUCE CECH is stepping away from the mic this season, and TOR INGSTAD/LAST FRONTIER MEDIA ACTIVE Sports KCBF-A-K300DL (ESPN RADIO FAIRBANKS)/FAIRBANKS will not air the NANOOKS games, reports the FAIRBANKS NEWS-MINER.

CECH told the paper that the cost of doing business precluded the station continuing its coverage, and that he had personally had to raise money to air the games over the last three years.  CECH, who has been announcing sports in FAIRBANKS for almost 40 years, will continue to work with the station as update anchor and high school sports announcer, along with his other job as fuel station manager at SAFEWAY.  He is also considering an offer from UAF to call home games on streaming video.
