The deal, which was completed in the Summer of 2008, places all of UB's sports on the same family of locally-owned stations for the first time in its Division I-A era (1999-present) Long-time and highly-respected Buffalo television reporter and anchor Paul Peck, who had previously been the voice of UB football from 1992-99, returns to call Bulls' football for the second season.

In addition, for the first time this season, WECK-1230 will be hosting a call-in show – “College Football Tonight” – following the Bulls’ post-game show, hosted by Scott Wilson. Fans can call and discuss the Bulls’ game that day as well as all of the latest happenings in college football. UB football will once air on WHTK (1280 AM) in Rochester.
