“When Tim (McLaughlin) and I discussed the opportunity to air our games on KSBI with Griffin Communications, we were ecstatic,” said Energy FC co-owner Bob Funk Jr.  “Griffin is well respected in the state of Oklahoma and we’re proud to work with them to broadcast Energy Soccer to more fans across our city.”

“As Oklahoma’s only locally-owned television group, we are constantly on the lookout for quality, local programming that showcases our state,” said Griffin Communications Chairman & CEO David F. Griffin.  “We are pleased to be able to broadcast the OKC Energy games on KSBI. The club has shown remarkable growth in their two short years playing in Oklahoma City and has proven that there is an appetite for professional soccer in Oklahoma.”
