The trouble with Grant Merrill is...

...that he does too many things well. Here is more proof. According to the release, Grant will team up with David Sanders for football play-by-play broadcasts of Arkansas Baptist games. Now, this could be really kewl!

LITTLE ROCK – TCR Radio and the SuperTalk Arkansas Network will be streaming all of the play-by-play action of Arkansas Baptist Eagle Football this fall. The broadcasts will begin with this week's season home opener against Mayflower on Friday night.

Fans will be able to access the games by logging on to www.totalchristianradio.com or www.wai-radio.com each Friday night. The broadcasts will begin with the Hootens Arkansas Football Bugman Report at 6:45 PM, and the Countdown to Kickoff Coaches Show at 7:15. All games both home and away will be broadcast. The games will be accessible free of charge to anyone with a computer and basic internet connection.

Stepping up to the play-by-play microphone will be sportscaster Grant Merrill, the host of the network's morning show " Arkansas AM", which airs locally on KDXE 1380 AM, and a number of other stations across Arkansas and Mississippi. "Arkansas Baptist is a great school with a very loyal and supportive fan base. Having been a long time fan of the Eagles, I am honored to be calling the games this fall. We're going to have a lot of fun." Merrill will be joined in the booth this week by statewide newspaper columnist David Sanders, who is also an administrator for the Arkansas Baptist School System. Prior to this year, Merrill served as the voice of the Fort Smith Northside Grizzlies for four years.

The Supertalk Arkansas Network is made up of twenty-one radio stations across Arkansas. The company also operates three broadband radio stations, streaming news/talk, classic rock, and a contemporary Christian format to thousands of listeners each week.
