Local Fishing Report Airs on Sacramento's New ESPN Radio Station
__________________________________________________________________________________________
SACRAMENTO--Anglers who want to tune into the most up-to-date reports to plan their weekend fishing adventures can listen to the all new "Fisherman's Forecast" on KCTC AM 1320 in Sacramento. Western Outdoor News assistant editor Bud Neville will once again host the report-style show that follows everything fishing from hard fighting ocean salmon to high pressure bass competition, to placid streams full of trout in the Sierra Nevada.

"The best news is our sponsors," said Neville. "Our new sponsors are organizations I can be proud of supporting; both the Sportsman's Warehouse in Rocklin and the California Department of Boating and Waterways have offered their support, and will alternate as sponsors weekly. As a dedicated Sportsman's Warehouse customer, I can tell you that this store is the place to buy your outdoor gear, with a great selection and excellent prices."

CDBW is another organization that anglers can be proud of, constantly funding ramp and dock upgrades in the state, and getting the message out to boaters to be safe on the water, said Neville. "Without a doubt, CDBW is one of the best run agencies in the state, and they are constantly doing great things for anglers."

The short style reports will begin to air on May 4, and will run every Friday, Saturday and Sunday between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m., and also on Friday evening between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m.

Prior to a 2005 format change on KCTC, Neville hosted "Fisherman's Forecast" for six years supported by one sponsor for the entire span. The two-year hiatus came to an end when KCTC became Sacramento's ESPN partner, airing their nationally syndicated sports format. Rich Ripley, local sales manager for the station, wasted no time in resurrecting the "Fisherman's Forecast" by offering sponsorships.
