Jim Churchill and Jack Webb commentate the Bryant @ Maine NCAA Division I FCS match

The October 2026 NCAA Division I Fed-Circuit Series (FCS) match, officially the Bryant @ Maine game, takes place on 17 October 2026, with the broadcast going live at 18:00 UK time. The event is being commentated by Jim Churchill as the main play-by-play announcer, supported by Jack Webb as co-commentator and field reporter. Unlike many matches that rely on the usual ESPN, Fox, CBS or NFL Network feeds alongside Sky, ITV or a world-wide channel, this particular game is being served from a single regional source: the FloFootball.com feed over the WVII ABC 7 radio line.

About the commentators

Jim Churchill brings a long-established broadcasting pedigree to the mic. He is a graduate of Brewer High School and the University of Maine, and his sports broadcasting career began in 1995 at WZON in Bangor. Over the years he has become a familiar voice for Black Bear fans, serving as the radio play-by-play broadcaster for baseball and the colour analyst for basketball. He has now been introduced as new radio and television talent for the football side of things, giving him a strong foothold as lead commentator.

Jack Webb rounds out the pairing. He has become a local fixture on the eastern Maine sports scene and is the former sports director from the ABC Channel 7-Fox 22 (WVII/WFVX) network. More recently he has been active in broadcasting roles for Maine sports events, including serving as field reporter on a recent shrine lobster bowl production. His presence as co-commentator complements the play-by-play work of Jim Churchill.

Where to watch

The match will be available through the FloFootball.com feed, delivered over the WVII ABC 7 radio channel. Fans tuning in should expect a regional broadcast rather than one of the standard national NFL channels, which makes this a distinctive line-up for the Bryant @ Maine game. For background on the commentators and their careers, the Black Bears introduction of new radio and television talent provides useful context on Jim Churchill.
