Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jacksonville Jaguars are a professional American football team located in Jacksonville, Florida. They are currently members of the Southern Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL). The Jaguars, along with the Carolina Panthers, joined the NFL as expansion teams in 1995. Jacksonville is one of six teams, including the Detroit Lions, Arizona Cardinals, Cleveland Browns, Houston Texans and the New Orleans Saints, never to have played in a Super Bowl.

Work in the community

The Jacksonville Jaguars Foundation was established in 1995, when the franchise deal was first announced. Since then, the Foundation has given over $6 million to area efforts in community improvement. In recent years, there has been increasing emphasis on youth programs, such as Honor Rows and Fresh Futures. The Jaguars also have a program called Playbooks, which is designed to help stop illiteracy.

Radio and television

Since the first 1995 season, the Jaguars' flagship radio station has been WOKV.

For 2007, WOKV now simulcasts on both AM 690 and on 106.5 FM. Brian Sexton, a past contestant on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, is the play-by-play announcer and Jeff Lageman is the color analyst and WOKV's Sports Director Cole Pepper serves as the pre-game and post-game show host with former Oakland Raider Pete Banaszak serving as post-game analyst. During preseason games, telecasts not seen nationwide are on WTEV channel 47, the CBS affiliate. In 2006, the announcers were Curt Menefee and Tony Boselli.
