KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — “Vol Calls,” the official statewide call-in radio show for University of Tennessee athletics kicks off its 2018-19 season Wednesday on location from Calhoun’s On the River in downtown Knoxville. The one-hour show airs at 8 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. CT across the state of Tennessee.

Bob Kesling, the voice of the Tennessee Volunteers and UT’s director of broadcasting, serves as the show’s host and is joined by Vol Network veteran Brent Hubbs to answer questions and provide insight into University of Tennessee sports. Weather permitting, the show will originate outside each week during the fall on Calhoun’s large patio deck overlooking the Tennessee River and Neyland Stadium.

Calhoun’s On the River returns as the home of “Vol Calls” for the seventh straight season. Famous for its award-winning ribs, BBQ and other delicious Southern dishes, Calhoun’s is one of Tennessee’s most popular restaurant destinations. The restaurant will give away special prizes each week during football season through its Facebook and Twitter (@calhouns) pages including “Best Seats in the House” for the show, game tickets, hospitality passes and a collection of special signature sauces.

Celebrating 31 years, “Vol Calls” is the exclusive radio program and event where Tennessee fans can call in and talk with the head coaches of the Tennessee Vols and Lady Vols. Fans can place a “Vol Call” anywhere in the United States by dialing 1-800-688-8657. Patrons at Calhoun’s On the River may ask a question in person, and fans may also Tweet questions to @VolNetwork_IMG, #AskVolNetwork. The program can be heard on 50-plus radio stations across the state of Tennessee on the Vol Radio Network and all over the world through UTsports.com and the UT GameDay App.
