Kansas football and menź??s basketball has expanded its radio coverage, as KSCB AM radio (1270) in Liberal, Kan., will now carry KU events, Jayhawk Sports Marketing announced Tuesday.

Beginning this fall and running through the 2010-11 seasons, Kansas fans can listen to KSCB, which covers portions of a five-state region including Southwest Kansas, Southeast Colorado, Northeast New Mexico and the panhandles of Oklahoma and Texas.
