Tennessee will no longer include the popular call-in Tennessee coaches show, Vol Calls, in its lineup for the 2025-26 season.
The school announced its Vol Network lineup on Thursday. That lineup will include “The Mike Keith Show” from 3-5 p.m. ET on Thursday nights, where Keith — the new “Voice of the Vols — will be joined by head football coach Josh Heupel. Fans will be able to submit questions for Heupel to answer during that show, which is set to run Aug. 28 through May 14.
Keith’s return to Rocky Top spurred the programming shift at Vol Network. He’d spent the last 26 years working in the NFL as the voice of the Tennessee Titans.
“The overriding idea is to give Tennessee fans more content across more platforms and to make it easier to access,” Keith said in a release from the school. “The Vol Network and VFL Films, along with media partners like Cumulus Media and Gray Television, have worked together over the past seven months to make it happen. It has been exciting to work on this project for all of us, and this is only the first step in what will be a continuing process.”
Keith will host Monday Meeting from 7-8 p.m. ET every Monday during football and basketball season. That show will air on WVLT and across the state on the new Tennessee Valley Sports Network (TVSN). It will feature segments with regular contributors, including Heupel during football season.
The Mike Keith Show on Thursdays will stream live on the Tennessee YouTube page as well as Vol Radio Network affiliates across the state.
On Fridays, Tennessee’s official podcast, Everything Orange, will drop new episodes.
Keith will host a 1-hour pregame show called Volunteer Gameday 2 hours prior to kickoff, home or away, during the football season. Keith and Brent Hubbs will then host a live, statewide radio show, Big Orange Rewind, on Sundays from 6-8 p.m. ET during football and basketball season.
Vol Calls began in 1989. With former “Voice of the Vols” Bob Kesling retiring after 26 years with the program, Tennessee is revamping its programming.
Derek Peterson does a bit of everything, not unlike Taysom Hill. He has covered Oklahoma, Nebraska, the Pac-12, and now delivers CFB-wide content.
