The UNC football team opens its ACC schedule Saturday afternoon when Virginia Tech comes calling at Kenan Stadium. Not only are the Tar Heels looking to start the conference schedule 1-0, but they are also looking to avenge a season-opening loss in Blacksburg last year. The weekend forecast is calling for rain from Hurricane Ian in the area.
If you aren’t making the trek to Chapel Hill for the game, here’s how to follow along at home:
Broadcast Schedule
Those hoping to listen on the radio with Jones Angell on the call can do so at 97.9 FM and 1360 AM, or by streaming the radio broadcast on Chapelboro.com.
97.9 The Hill’s radio coverage of the game will begin at 12:30 p.m. with Inside Carolina Live.
At 2:30 p.m., the broadcast will shift over to Jones Angell and the Tar Heel Sports Network for their pregame coverage until kickoff. They will also carry postgame coverage for approximately 90 minutes after the conclusion of the game.
Per college football broadcast restrictions, you can access the stream (computer, tablet or phone) through Chapelboro.com, TuneIN or most streaming apps, but you must be within 75 miles of Chapel Hill and have your location services for your device turned on. This 75-mile rule applies only to Tar Heel Sports Network pre-game, game, and post-game broadcasts (one hour before kickoff until one and a half hours after the game ends). This does not apply to Inside Carolina Live or On The Heels, which you can stream anywhere in the world! If you live more than 75 miles outside of Chapel Hill, you can access the Tar Heel Sports Network game broadcast stream through the Varsity Network.
