Longtime Tennessee broadcaster Larry Stone will join the Vol Radio Network this fall to
produce its football broadcasts and serve as Gameday Host.
Stone joins new “Voice of the Vols” Mike Keith, analyst Ramon Foster, sideline reporter Brent
Hubbs and gameday analyst Jayson Swain on the football broadcast team. The group will
make its debut on Saturday, August 30 when the Vols face Syracuse at 12pm ET/11am CT in
Atlanta.
“I met Larry Stone in 1997,” Keith said. “Over the last 28 years, I have met no one that I
respect more as a broadcaster, a person or a friend. Larry’s respect for the institution that is
the Vol Radio Network will be apparent in everything that he does on Saturdays. We are
thrilled to have him join us!”
Stone spent 17 years as Executive Producer and Gameday Host for Titans Radio, creating
the sound that made the network one of the largest and most respected in all sports. Prior to
his arrival in Tennessee, Stone spent ten years working with the Tar Heel Sports Network and
flagship station WCHL in Chapel Hill.
“There is something special about the pageantry and tradition around college football
Saturdays,” Stone said. “And Tennessee does it better than anyone. We want to bring all that
energy to every game on the Vol Network. I am so excited to be back with Mike in serving Vol
fans across this great state.”
Since 2011, Stone serves as President/General Manager of Stonecom, an eight-station radio
group based in Cookeville. Stone’s team provides unparalleled commitment to local news,
sports, weather and community involvement across the Upper Cumberland. 106-9 Kicks
Country, Rock 93-7 and Sports Radio 104.7 carry Tennessee Football, Basketball, Lady Vols
Basketball and Baseball, respectively.
“The Vol Network is excited to welcome Larry Stone to the team,” said Brandon Parks, Vice
President and General Manager of the Vol Network. “His passion for Tennessee Athletics
combined with years of radio experience and expertise will enhance the listeners’ experience
on football Saturdays this fall.”
The Vol Network broadcasts each Saturday will begin two and a half hours prior to kickoff with
“Big Orange Countdown”, an interactive 90-minute show featuring Hubbs, Foster and Swain.
Stone will then host the final hour before kickoff, then handing off to Keith and Foster to call
the game action.
