CACC ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH PENN ATLANTIC TO
VIDEO STREAM BASKETBALL GAMES
1-10-08
NEW HAVEN, Conn.
- The Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) is pleased to
announce a partnership with Penn Atlantic, Inc., to video stream
live basketball games on the world-wide-web this season. This
partnership will allow fans to watch and listen to live games from
the comfort of their home for a small fee. Caldwell College, which
has broadcast the past two men's and women's basketball
doubleheaders, will be broadcasting the remaining home games for
both teams this season.
“This is a great step forward for the CACC and I look forward to
this venture with Penn Atlantic,” said CACC Commissioner, Dan Mara.
“This is an excellent opportunity for alumni, parents, students and
fans of our institutions to follow their teams if they cannot attend
the games in person. I think everyone will appreciate the
opportunity to watch their favorite teams, and the quality of the
broadcasts is excellent. Penn Atlantic provides a great product and
we look forward to the rest of the season.”
Each CACC institution will broadcast their home basketball games in
conjunction with Penn Atlantic through the newly created website,
www.CACC.tv. After creating an account viewers may order games for a
nominal fee and will need only a high speed DSL or cable internet
connection, and Windows Media Player or any other player capable of
playing streaming Windows video. All games will be broadcast in a
resolution equivalent to standard cable television resolution.
The CACC.tv website will list all games that are available to
purchase. Please note that not all CACC institutions will provide
broadcasts immediately. Please visit CACC.tv for more information,
including scheduling and purchasing information.
