Larry Weir is back in 2017 as voice of the Spokane Empire and will host the Empire Coach's Show each week, team general manager Ryan Eucker announced today.
Weir will be joined by Spokane sports radio commentator Dennis Patchin on occasion, as well as guest analysts during the course of the season. Weir, who has been the longtime host of the Shock, also is the voice of Eastern Washington University football and basketball.
The team also announced that radio broadcasts will return to KXLY 920 AM/105.3 FM in the Spokane area. Games also may be streamed at 700 ESPN.
The Empire Coach's Show, which includes interviews with head coach Adam Shackleford and players, will air each Tuesday from 6-7 p.m., with the exception of March 15. The show is being moved to Wednesday that week due to Tuesday being a travel day following a March 13 game in Salt Lake City against the Screaming Eagles. The Empire Coach's Show will be broadcast live from The Swinging Doors, located at 1018 West Francis Avenue in Spokane.
