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.
