SALISBURY, Md.- Draper Media, which owns and operates local television and radio stations on the Delmarva Peninsula including WBOC and WRDE, is excited to announce the Feb. 7 launch of the area’s first and only local sports television station, Delmarva Sports Network (DSN).
“The Draper family has always been committed to serving our audience and advertising partners with top-quality content, “says Craig Jahelka, president of Draper Media. “With the addition of Delmarva Sports Network we will offer a unique channel like nothing else on the Peninsula. DSN will be the premiere, local station for sports.”
Jahelka has tapped Sussex County native Bill Vernon to lead the DSN team.
“Growing up in Delmar, I wrestled and played football. I know how passionate people here on Delmarva are when it comes to sports,” says Vernon, DSN vice president/general manager. “We are giving viewers quality production unlike anything they would expect to see for local sports. Delmarva Sports Network will air games, highlights, and sports news. We’ll cover boy’s and girl’s athletics from area high schools, colleges and minor league pro teams.”
DSN will be on the air 24/7! DSN will air a local sports program called The Final Score at 7:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. Monday through Friday in addition to providing sports coverage in local newscasts on WBOC, WRDE and FOX21.
