CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Big South’s 2005 football television schedule officially kicks off this Saturday with the first Conference game of the season, VMI at Liberty, live on Comcast SportsNet Mid-Atlantic at 12:00pm ET. The game will be simulcast nationally on Fox College Sports Atlantic (FCSA), as well as on the League’s new premium content website, The Big South EDGE presented by Aéropostale, for $4.95. It will be the Big South’s first video streaming of a live game on the Internet. Triple-A Charlotte Knights broadcaster Matt Swierad and Nate Ross will call Saturday’s action.
The video stream of VMI-Liberty, which will also be available on a video-on-demand basis for subscribers of The EDGE, requires a high-speed internet connection (DSL, cable or above), Microsoft Windows Media Player 9.0 or greater downloaded and installed, and a screen resolution of 800x600 or greater, among other requirements. An annual subscription of The EDGE costs $69.95 and runs one year from the date of sign-up and includes live sporting events and championships, interviews and exclusive access to on-demand video and features. Webcasts also are available on a per event basis ranging from $4.95-$9.95.
Saturday’s game can also be seen by digital cable subscribers nationwide who have access through their cable company for Fox College Sports (FCS). To find out about availability of FCS in a particular market, call 1-877-2-GETFCS.
Meanwhile, Coastal Carolina’s contest at South Carolina State Saturday will be televised by South Carolina Educational Television (SC ETV). Emerson Phillips will handle play-by-play, Stacy Hough will provide color commentary and Rebecca Ferrara will serve as sideline reporter. Saturday’s game will air live on SC ETV’s South Carolina Channel at 2:00pm and the station’s digital channel (Time Warner channel 802 and Comcast channel 192).
