KRSB NETWORK — MEDIA KIT 2025-26
EST. 2022
WHERE HBCU PRIDE
GOES LIVE.
MEDIA KIT
Professional broadcasting shaped by those who lived the culture.
2025 — 2026 SEASON

THE NETWORK

KRSB Network is the national radio voice HBCU sports should have always had. We did not inherit this responsibility. We claimed it because the silence had gone on long enough.

We are HBCU alumni. Professionally trained broadcasters. People who understand the rhythm, the names, the history, and the weight of every game. We do not guess at the culture. We come from it.

"Our athletes were never the problem. The problem was the absence of a national voice willing to honor their work."

Based in Philadelphia, PA — KRSB delivers live game broadcasts, daily editorial coverage, and cultural commentary across the four major Black college athletic conferences.


OUR FOUR PILLARS
CORE VALUES

Knowledge. Relationships. Sports. Business. — Four truths that keep us steady.

01
K
KNOWLEDGE

We inform without distortion. We protect the narrative. We study HBCU history, traditions, and athletic conferences. Master the craft.

02
R
RELATIONSHIPS

We build trust with athletes, families, and alumni because we stand among them. We earn access. We honor it.

03
S
SPORTS

We bring clarity and respect to every contest we call. We tell stories beyond the scores. We honor the tradition.

04
B
BUSINESS

We create opportunities that strengthen the institutions we serve. Media operations, sponsorship, marketing, and audience growth.

"When we speak, we speak with purpose. When we broadcast, we broadcast with truth."

FROM ERASURE TO EXCELLENCE
LIVE COVERAGE
COURTSIDE ACCESS
PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTION

HBCU sports were treated as an afterthought. That changed when we brought professional infrastructure to every broadcast. This is what excellence looks like when the people who lived the culture build the platform.

NOTHING CAN BE CHANGED UNTIL IT IS FACED.

— JAMES BALDWIN
