Men’s And Women’s Basketball Home Games Streamed For Free
ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. – The St. Bonaventure
University Athletics Department is proud to announce that it will
once again stream home men’s and women’s basketball
games free of charge for the 2012-13 season.
Fans will be able to access SBU-TV’s broadcasts, beginning
with the men’s and women’s exhibition doubleheader on
Saturday, live over the Internet through the CBS
All-Access player on GoBonnies.com. No usernames, passwords or
account will be required.
St. Bonaventure graduate Dan Collins '73, the vice president of
corporate communications at Corning, Inc., provided the lead
sponsorship to underwrite the costs associated with the
broadcasts.
Every home game at the Reilly Center will be streamed live except
for the men’s matchup against Xavier on Wednesday, Jan. 16,
which will air nationally on the CBS Sports Network. CBS does not
permit schools to produce original broadcasts for games that are
aired nationally.
Six cameras positioned at various locations throughout the Reilly
Center will capture all the action. Broadcasts will also feature
multiple-angle instant replays, statistical presentations, graphics
and sideline reports. SBU graduate Jeremy Noeson '05 will call the
play-by-play for the majority of games, and color commentary will
also be provided.
The broadcasts will be produced by SBU-TV under the direction of
Paul Wieland, associate professor of journalism and mass
communication, and technical director Joe Paciorkowski.
Undergraduate students from the Russell J. Jandoli School of
Journalism and Mass Communication will continue to provide most of
the broadcast crew, including a sideline reporter.
Games are produced through a network-level television sports
production truck donated by Game Creek Video. The truck, a 48-foot,
40-ton unit, sits just outside the Reilly Center and was once used
for major league sports and the Academy Awards. The equipment on
the truck includes a Grass Valley 3000 switcher, four hard Ikegami
cameras with Canon lenses, three hand-held Ikegami cameras,
four Sony W75 Beta decks, a Yamaha 3500 audio console, a Chyron
Infinit and an Abekas DVEous.
For information on sponsoring future broadcasts, contact Aaron
Hill, director of sales and marketing, at ahill@sbu.edu or (716) 375-2086.
