Fans of Eastern Washington University will recognize Weir as the voice of the Eagles, for whom he has called the play by play for the last 15 years. Sorensen, a former WSU cougar and NFL player, is also a broadcasting veteran, having provided color commentary for hundreds of football games, including WSU football broadcasts.

Fans can also watch the Shock's home games on KQUP, local channel 24. All home games will be broadcast live from the Spokane Arena Saturday nights at 7:00 pm and then be rebroadcast the Sunday following each game at 7:00 pm.

The TV broadcast team features the finest talent in the area. Mike Boyle, a Krem 2 Sports Anchor, handles the play-by-play duties for the Shock. Spokane’s own Mark Rypien, MVP of Super Bowl XXVI and a former All-American quarterback at WSU, joins Boyle in the booth, drawing upon his experience to add expert analysis. On the sidelines, Mike Peterson, a Spokane native and former WSU football standout, adds field-level updates and live interviews with players and coaches.

While nothing compares to the live atmosphere of Shock football, tickets are becoming increasingly hard to find, and live broadcasts of the game make it easy for fans of all ages to take part in the electrifying excitement of Spokane Shock football. Listen to live radio broadcasts of all Shock games on 105.7 The Buzzard and catch all home games live on KQUP CH. 24 Saturday nights at 7:00 pm.
