WBGT TV Cable Ch.18 and ROCSportsNetwork.com is excited to announce that they will broadcast five Brockport Golden Eagle Football games this Fall. The games will air on Sundays (tape-delay) on WBGT Ch.18 (Spectrum Cable) on ROC Sports TV digital Ch. 46.5 and on-demand on ROCSportsNetwork.com throughout the 2017 Empire8 Division III football season.
“We are excited to partner with channel 18 to promote Brockport football in the greater Rochester area,” says Erick Hart, Brockport College Athletic Director. “When we made the transition to the Empire 8 in 2014 we made a commitment to playing strong teams within our region, and with the addition of the partnership between the Empire 8 and Liberty league, we now are going to have the opportunity to see great football in the New York State area. Our partnership with Channel 18 and ROC Sports Network will give us a chance to showcase great football.”
Production of these games will be a collaboration of Brockport College students who will fill positions as announcers, reporters and camera operators.
“This gives students an opportunity to learn and gain valuable experience they can use as credit in class and material to add to their portfolio for future employment in the industry,” says Gary Sajdak, RSN Sports Director. “We are excited to add Golden Eagle Football broadcasts to our growing coverage of Rochester area sports and give students hands-on experience they may only be able to get in a larger sports market.”
2017 season games will feature match ups between the Golden Eagles and rivals; Ithaca College Bombers, Utica College Pioneers, Morrisville State Mustangs, Hartwick College Hawks and Alfred State Saxons. A schedule of air dates is available on ROCSportsNetwork.com.
