Note: The show is currently being hosted in-studio, but hopefully will return to Calhoun’s On The River, in-full, this Fall.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — “Vol Calls,” the official statewide call-in radio show for University of Tennessee athletics airs Mondays on location from Calhoun’s On the River in downtown Knoxville. The one-hour show airs at 8 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. CT across the state of Tennessee including right here in Knoxville and East Tennessee on FM 99.1 and AM 990, The Sports Animal (WNML.)
Bob Kesling, the voice of the Tennessee Volunteers and UT’s director of broadcasting, serves as the show’s host and is joined by Vol Network veteran Brent Hubbs to answer questions and provide insight into University of Tennessee sports. Weather permitting, the show will originate outside each week during the fall on Calhoun’s large patio deck overlooking the Tennessee River and Neyland Stadium.
Calhoun’s On the River returns as the home of “Vol Calls” for the eighth straight season. Famous for its award-winning ribs, BBQ and other delicious Southern dishes, Calhoun’s is one of Tennessee’s most popular restaurant destinations. The restaurant will give away special prizes each week during football season through its Facebook and Twitter (@calhouns) pages including “Best Seats in the House” for the show, game tickets, hospitality passes and a collection of special signature sauces.
