History

The Titans Preseason Television Network was formed in 1999 after the football franchise moved to the then-new Adelphia Coliseum (later LP Field, now Nissan Stadium). WKRN-TV has been the flagship station of all pre-season Tennessee Titans preseason game broadcasts, with the exception of any preseason games broadcast nationally.

Currently, the games are called by WKRN sports director Cory Curtis. Former Titans running back Eddie George provides color analogy, and sideline reports are provided by Audra Martin, who also serves as a sports anchor at WKRN.[2]
