"We are excited to once again partner with WXSP to bring three GVSU football games to West Michigan on WXSP-TV," said Deputy Director of Athletics Doug Lipinski. "We feel it is important that we continue to bring Grand Valley State athletics to West Michigan on a local television channel and we want to be the brand in Grand Rapids."
Bryan Fongers will handle the play-by-play duties for Laker football on television and video streaming on FloSports for the 2023 campaign, while Bob Mitchell will continue with color commentary. Tom Cleary stepped down after the 2022 season after handling the GVSU broadcasting duties for over 20 years.
