March 19, 2013 - Frontier League (FL) Florence Freedom The Florence Freedom welcome back radio play-by-play broadcaster Steve Jarnicki as he will announce all 96 games during the 2013 regular season in addition to the playoffs should the Freedom qualify.

Jarnicki, who is the owner of his own production company, has teamed up with Great Lakes radio station 1320 AM WCVG to broadcast these games. The games can also be heard online at http://www.gospel1320.com, http://www.florencefreedom.com and are also available on your smart phone by downloading the TuneIn Radio Ap.

WCVG is a gospel formatted station and with its towers being located in Covington, they feel it's a terrific fit for everyone involved.

"When Steve contacted WCVG to discuss airing the 2013 baseball season for the Freedom, we were very curious," said Great Lakes Radio President Tim Gallagher. "After many conversations and some research into the relationship being proposed we jumped at the opportunity. The opportunity to connect WCVG to the fans of the Florence Freedom is a win-win. We are very excited for the first pitch."

Last season Jarnicki was behind the microphone for the Freedom and got to witness history firsthand as the team qualified for the postseason for the first time in franchise history. The late season run has him extremely optimistic heading into his second year with the Freedom.

"2012 was such a special season and I was fortunate to be able to broadcast all the games which included a trip to the Frontier League Championship series," said Jarnicki. With everything that the team accomplished last year, and with the players that are expected to return, it should be a fun summer of baseball and I can't wait for it to begin."

Jarnicki is a radio and TV sportscaster from Cincinnati having graduated from Sycamore High School in 2002 and Bowling Green State University in 2006 with a degree in Interpersonal Communications. Since returning to his hometown, he has provided play-by-play coverage for University of Cincinnati Baseball, Northern Kentucky University Baseball, and Simon Kenton High School basketball and football.

The Freedom will host the River City Rascals on opening night May 16. All broadcasts can be heard starting fifteen minutes prior to first pitch with the pre-game show.
