2014-15 WHOU Basketball Broadcast Crew.

Northern Maine Media has two crews covering High School basketball again this season. Our Southern crew does games on WHOU 100.1 FM and video streams them on whoufm.com as well. They primarily broadcast games from Houlton, Hodgdon, Southern Aroostook and Central Aroostook. Additional coverage of Katahdin and East Grand road games are also part of the schedule.

Last year we expanded to include a Northern Crew, whose games can only be seen on whoufm.com each night. They covered games from Caribou, Limestone, Ashland, Easton, Fort Fairfield and Washburn. This year an agreement has been worked out and we will be covering Presque Isle also. We are proud to have one of the State’s most respected crew of broadcasters to bring our coverage to you each game. Meet our announcers for this season.
