PORTLAND, Ore. – University of Portland basketball will return to 910 ESPN-Portland (KMTT) for a sixth consecutive season, the Pilots and Entercom-Portland, LLC announced on Thursday.

Game coverage will begin with Portland's Nov. 3 exhibition against Westmont and continue throughout the regular season and postseason. Jason Swygard will return for his fourth year as the play-by-play voice of the Pilots, as well as the studio host of the weekly Terry Porter Show throughout the season.

"Entercom-Portland is pleased to continue our relationship with the University of Portland," stated Senior Vice President and Market Manager Bill Ashenden. "We're excited about the direction of the program under Coach Terry Porter, and look forward to another season of Pilots Basketball on 910 ESPN-Portland."

"We are thrilled to have our basketball games and coaches show back on 910 ESPN-Portland," said Jason Brough, Portland's Associate Athletic Director for Public Relations. "We are fortunate to have a great partner in Entercom-Portland and a brand name station in the Portland market showcasing Pilots basketball."

All games will be aired on 910 ESPN-Portland and each broadcast will feature a 30-minute pregame show as well as 30-minute postgame show with player and coach interviews. Out of market fans can also listen online.

The Terry Porter Show will be aired weekly at 7 p.m. every Monday throughout the basketball season, barring game or travel conflicts. The show will feature Jason Swygard as the in-studio host along with head coach Terry Porter and other guests.
