Bethlehem, PA – The Lehigh Athletics department has announced that, in an effort to improve the overall sound quality of broadcasts, it has teamed with Yahoo! Sports (sports.yahoo.com) to deliver real-time audio broadcasts throughout the 2003-04 school year.
By logging on to either www.lehigh.edu or Yahoo! Sports and selecting one of two subscription options, fans can access live audio broadcasts of Lehigh games in a number of sports.
The Yahoo! Sports audio offerings are available for both broadband and dial-up users, and enable fans to listen to the radio broadcast of their official school radio station. As a result, alumni that live thousands of miles from their alma mater will be able to follow every game as if they were back on campus and listening to their hometown announcers. This year, Yahoo! Sports will be providing fans with higher-quality audio streaming, and more content from participating schools.
Over the upcoming school year, Lehigh will broadcast nearly 200 events on the Athletics Web site, including every football and basketball game, every wrestling dual meet, and a number of contests for men’s and women’s soccer, field hockey, volleyball, baseball, softball, and men’s and women’s lacrosse.
All of the schools that are making audio content available via Yahoo! Sports in 2003 – including Lehigh – will offer the following subscription packages:
1. School Pass Subscription – users can access all broadcasts for Lehigh Athletics on a monthly or annual basis. For example, users can pay $4.95 per month or $29.95 per year to gain access to all streamed sports broadcasts for only Lehigh Athletics.
2. College Pack Subscription – each school will be integrated into and offered as part of the College Pack subscription for $9.95/month or $59.95/year. This package allows users to access all college broadcasts for ALL schools.
In addition to Lehigh, below is a partial list of the schools that will be featured in Yahoo! Sports’ College Pack:
