Instant replay moves KJHK

By By Ryan Schneider

Friday, August 26, 2005

The University of Kansas’ student radio station, KJHK, will return to calling football games this season. But it won’t be in the friendly confines of a press box.

Following a joint decision by the station and Kansas athletic department officials, KJHK will now broadcast outside.

The move was made in response to the Big 12 Conference adopting instant replay for the upcoming season. Big 12 Conference rules stipulate that the instant replay officials be stationed in a secured booth in the press box. KJHK will move to allow room for the officials in the limited number of available media boxes.

In previous years, KJHK had called games from a booth on the eighth floor of the press box. This season they will broadcast from an outdoor platform on the ninth floor.

Jimmy Chavez, KJHK sports director and Kansan sports columnist, said that department officials approached the KJHK sports staff about the move in July.

“We’re not going to complain,” Chavez said. “The football staff has been very willing to work with us.”

Mason Logan, associate media relations director, said that Chavez and KJHK had been cooperative and understanding throughout the process.

Chavez said that KJHK has more opportunities than other college radio stations to broadcast games. The station will join the football team in Kansas City this season to call the Jayhawks’ first game at Arrowhead Stadium.

“It actually could be worse,” Chavez said. “It was never as bad as it was made to seem.”
