Regional Radio Sports first broadcast in 1992 on WWJY (now WXRD) in Crown Point, Indiana. In order to establish a footprint in the Michiana region, RRS soon joined forces with WAMJ in South Bend to create the first network.[1] WAMJ was the first home for RRSN's coverage of Penn High School football,[2] which now airs on affiliate WGCS. The network later added coverage of Bethel College basketball, baseball and softball to fill out the winter and spring.[3] Since 2012, RRSN has partnered with the Indiana High School Athletic Association and Emmis Communications to produce the Indiana High School Sports Report that airs weekly around the state. They also now are the voices of Holy Cross Men's and Women's basketball, IUSB Men's and Women's basketball, and Ancilla College Women's volleyball, basketball, and softball, as well as Ancilla College's Men's soccer, basketball, and baseball.[4]
RRSN founder Paul Condry was named Indiana Sportscaster of the Year by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association in 2002, 2005, 2008 and 2010. Colleague Mike Knezevich won the same award in 2003, 2004, 2007, and 2013.[5] Matt Kopsea was the 2005 winner while working for the South Bend Tribune[6] before joining RRSN in 2011.[7] The team has two members of the Indiana Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association Hall of Famers and three ISSA annual awards, and more than half a dozen coaches' association media awards.
Other awards won by the staff include the following:
RRSN publishes the annual Indiana Football Digest, the largest high school football magazine in the country, which covers every high school team in the state (of Indiana) and weighs in at more than two pounds! They also organize The Griddy's, an annual event recognizing the best high school football players and coaches in the state, in association with the Indianapolis Colts.
