'''Hokie Hotline''' is a weekly two-hour [[call-in show]], hosted by Hokies [[play-by-play]] announcer Bill Roth, dedicated to discussion of [[Virginia Tech Hokies football]] and [[Virginia Tech Hokies Basketball|men's basketball]]. The show airs every Monday night at 7pm during the school year.

==Content and Schedule==
The first show of each season airs the Monday before the first football game. The Monday after the last [[Virginia Tech Hokies football|Virginia Tech football]] game is the final time of the season the show will discuss, or feature coaches and guests solely to talk about, Hokies football. The Monday after that the show is reduced to a one-hour show addressing only [[Virginia Tech Hokies Basketball|Hokies Basketball]]. After the final [[Virginia Tech Hokies Basketball|Virginia Tech basketball]] game of the season, the show broadcasts for the final time of the season the following Monday, after which the show is on hiatus during the summer until the beginning of the next football season.

==Location==
Starting in 2007, The Hokie Hotline is broadcast in front of a live audience at Awful Arthurs located in downtown [[Blacksburg, Virginia]] inside the Kent Square shopping center. Audience members are invited to participate by asking questions same as listeners are invited to call-in with questions. Until 2007, the show was broadcast from Beamers' Restaurant in [[Christiansburg, Virginia]].

==Guest appearances==
In season, head coaches [[Frank Beamer]] and [[Seth Greenberg]] join the show and answer questions from the audience and callers. Virginia Tech Athletic Director Jim Weaver is a frequent guest and usually appears during the first 15–30 minutes of the show. Other assistant coaches, for both football and men's basketball, will join the show during the first hour (or during basketball season will appear in a rare absence of Seth Greenberg).

==Radio==
In Blacksburg, the show can be heard on Virginia Tech sports' flagship radio station [[WBRW-FM]] '''105.3 The Bear'''. The show is carried on every station that carries Virginia Tech football, as well as on Yahoo!
