"It is a natural partnership between the Connie Mack World Series and KSJE," said Connie Mack World Series Committee General Chairman Tyson Snyder. "We are glad that a truly community-minded radio station will continue the tradition of broadcast excellence as the World Series recovers from a COVID shutdown in 2020."

The Connie Mack World Series has a new home on the radio and will now be heard on KSJE FM.

Starting in 2021, the Connie Mack World Series Committee has partnered with KSJE 90.0 FM and San Juan College to broadcast the 2021 Connie Mack World Series. The broadcasts will be anchored by the same broadcast team who have been covering the World Series for the last two decades. Kirk Carpenter, Mark Strickland, Don Lorett, and Keith Neil lead award-winning broadcast teams to bring you every pitch, hit, and out from Ricketts Park.

The broadcasts will be heard on 90.9 FM in Farmington, 103.3 FM in Durango and around the world streaming at KSJE.com.

KSJE General Manager Scott Michlin jumped at the chance to secure the broadcasts in 2021. "At KSJE, our mission is the community and we are proud to be the new home of the Connie Mack World Series," said Michlin. "The diverse programming on KSJE is only improved with the addition of Connie Mack sports broadcasts."

A community-supported radio station, KSJE is licensed to San Juan College and has been on the air since 1990.

The Connie Mack World Series has been played in Farmington, NM since 1965, with the exception of 2020 when the World Series was cancelled by coronavirus pandemic concerns.

In 2021, the Connie Mack World Series will return to Rickett's Park July 23 through July 31.
