By merging traditional and digital media, Tennessee Sports Radio has an unparalleled reach in local sports entertainment, and digital media marketing plays a big role in the new partnership. Beginning January 14, 2013, Tennessee Sports Radio and The Erik Ainge Show will broadcast from the “Calhoun’s Tennessee Sports Radio Studios” in Knoxville. The year-long comprehensive marketing partnership includes advertising, public appearances, online marketing and joint social media campaigns. “This is a dream-team partnership,” The Copper Cellar Group operates 17 locations in Knoxville, Nashville, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Maryville and Lenoir City and includes the Copper Cellar, Calhoun’s, Chesapeake’s, Cherokee Grill Steakhouse and Smoky Mountain Brewery restaurants. Bart Fricks, Chief Operating Officer for Copper Cellar Group, said, “We are excited to be a partner of The Erik Ainge Show on Tennessee Sports Radio. Erik brings a fresh approach to sports radio, especially when you consider the fact he was the quarterback for the Vols. We are excited for his listeners to become part of the Copper Cellar Family.” With his rapidly expanding national following, Ainge has become the go-to guy for all things related to Tennessee sports. A legendary University of Tennessee quarterback who later played for the NFL’s New York Jets, Ainge now has a devoted fan base who tune in to his daily four-hour show. His humorous, irreverent and always-accurate reporting has made Ainge’s show the fastest growing radio program in Tennessee.
