BEYOND THE SCOREBOARD with PJ RIDDELL
WDAC Radio Company's Beyond the Scoreboard airs every Saturday at 10 a.m. on 1075Alive in Boyertown and WDAC 94.5 in Lancaster!
PJ Riddell offers a positively different perspective on sports, from Philly’s pro teams —Phillies, Flyers, Sixers, Eagles, Union and more — to local high school and college sports, as well as the national sports scene. We go beyond stats to explore the character, teamwork, and faith that drive the game. It’s sports for every generation, where life lessons and victory in Jesus go hand in hand. Beyond the Scoreboard — "a positively different look at sports!”
