As Buffalo Bills football returns to WGRF-FM (97 Rock), the station is expanding its game day coverage with the addition of veteran Buffalo sportscasters Paul Peck and Kevin Sylvester. The pair will host the first two hours of the station's pregame coverage, beginning four hours before kickoff each week.

They will be followed by NFL Draft and Bills analyst Chris Trapasso and former Bills center Mitch Morse, giving listeners four hours of pregame analysis, commentary and entertainment leading into every Bills game.

The Bills will play their first full game at the new Highmark Stadium during a preseason matchup against the Carolina Panthers on August 15. Buffalo opens the regular season on September 13 with a Sunday Night Football road game against the Houston Texans before hosting the Detroit Lions in its home opener on Thursday Night Football.

"Together, Paul Peck and Kevin Sylvester bring decades of experience covering the teams, players, and moments that have defined Buffalo sports," said 97 Rock Program Director Joe Russo. "Their deep local roots, combined with their passion for entertaining fans, make them the perfect team to help launch a new era of Bills coverage on 97 Rock."

Peck brings more than 30 years of Buffalo sports broadcasting experience, including 24 years at WIVB-TV, where he served as the station's primary Bills beat reporter for 15 seasons and covered all four of the team's Super Bowl appearances. He currently serves as the play-by-play voice for University at Buffalo football and basketball. Peck also previously worked on 97 Rock's Bills broadcasts from 1998 to 2008.

Sylvester is well known to Buffalo fans through his work with the Buffalo Sabres as a television host and analyst on MSG Network, along with his radio hosting and reporting. Earlier in his career, he was part of the Bills Radio Network, hosting game day, pregame, halftime and postgame programming, as well as weekly shows featuring Hall of Fame coach Marv Levy and former Bills General Manager John Butler.
