Impact Sports covers football, volleyball, men’s and women’s basketball, soccer, swimming and diving, water polo and ice hockey. The section also includes coverage of the Detroit Lions, Tigers, Pistons and Red Wings.

“The intention is to improve the value we can provide for students through the content we’re creating,” said Impact 89FM General Manager Ed Glazer. “The goal is ideally to cover every varsity and club sport on campus.”

Glazer said the radio station is trying to focus some attention on sports that don’t get much coverage by other media outlets.

Alex Scharg, founder and director of Impact Sports, said the new sports section is still in its infant stages, explaining that only half of the content they intend to eventually have is up on the website. The goal is to have the section ready in its final form by the end of the spring semester.

“Our goal is to (cover) all MSU sports, from swimming to running, even Quidditch,” Scharg said.

Impact Sports includes articles and podcasts, with content varying from analysis of past games and upcoming games to opinions on sporting events.

The section’s Sports News Director Aaron Jordan said the articles are game recaps, whereas the podcasts are usually weekly in-depth analyses and discussions of the games.

Jordan said the sports staff, which includes 80 members, is working on adding wrestling, baseball and softball. The station is still looking for more people to fill different positions on the new sports section.

Scharg said one of the end goals also is to have more sports air time on the radio station. Impact 89FM has a one-hour long weekly sports talk-show called The Pact, which was launched Oct. 14.

Scharg said the new sports show is a more in-depth feature show including debates with the guests about controversial topics in sports. The show substitutes Spartan Sportswrap, which covered MSU and Detroit sports, as well as national sporting events.
