Logistics Plus has proudly partnered with WPSE AM 1450/FM 107.1 Radio to help bring a full slate of area high school football games – and Cleveland Browns professional football games – to radio airwaves in Erie, PA. As a presenting sponsor, Logistics Plus will be mentioned prominently throughout each broadcast starting with today’s Browns game at 3:30 pm and again on tonight’s Mercyhurst Prep versus Meadville game at 6:30 pm (streaming only).

Game schedules are included below, as well as a couple examples of the Logistics Plus “commercials” that will air during the games.
