Lundy says WOAI will carry the gameday programming, while its San Antonio sister station KTKR-AM (Ticket 760) will carry numerous Cowboys weekly programming features. That additional programming, Clear Channel officials explain, will include daily reports on the team, as well as interviews with team owner Jerry Jones and head coach Bill Parcells. It will also include a weekly one-hour program featuring Cowboys news and player interviews.

The lineup on WOAI and Ticket 760, Clear Channel officials note, now includes the NBA's Spurs, Major League Baseball's Houston Astros and Texas Rangers and the NFL's Houston Texans and Cowboys. It also includes the University of Texas Longhorns' and Texas A&M University Aggies' football and basketball games.

"We're excited about having WOAI on board as a network affiliate," Jones says. "Our team has always enjoyed a great fan following in San Antonio, and we know that WOAI will be able to satisfy the tremendous thirst for Cowboys information and programming in San Antonio."
