TEMPE, Ariz. - Arizona State University football head coach Todd Graham will be the focal point of a new weekly radio show, titled High Octane Hour with Todd Graham, on KTAR 620 AM this fall season.

The show, which Coach Graham will co-host with Doug Franz, will be on Monday nights from 7-8 p.m. during the football season, starting on August 27th. It will be broadcast from The Thirsty Lion Pub & Grill in Tempe Marketplace.

"We are extremely excited to host the New ASU Coaches show with Todd Graham this fall," said John Plew, the owner of The Thirsty Lion, "and introduce all the ASU fans to our new Tempe location and everything The Thirsty Lion Pub & Grill has to offer."

"I strongly believe in connecting with our fan base," says Graham.  "This is another way I can accomplish that during the football season.  I encourage all Sun Devil fans to attend the show every Monday night."

Sponsored by ASU Online and San Tan Ford, High Octane Hour will feature four quarters: an interactive show using social media for questions to ask the coach; participation with the live audience; free prizes for fans in attendance; and interviews with current student-athletes.

Twelve shows are currently scheduled for broadcast, with more possibly for the post-season.
