MORE ON THE TELECAST…
By way of background, all Lehigh University Athletics telecasts are produced by the Athletics Department in cooperation with MBC Teleproductions of Allentown or Service Electric Cable TV, with 100% of the funds being derived by the Athletics Department through corporate partnerships and other fundraising initiatives, including the Athletics Partnership.
At the same time, Lehigh's national cable partner, Fox College Sports (FCS), has been airing Lehigh content for several years – including every televised Lehigh football game in 2009 and 2010 plus this year's Princeton game. Available on cable systems nationwide in over 56 million homes, FCS is not offered on DirecTV or DISH Network – the two most popular consumer satellite television services. Because of Fox's partnership with DirecTV, FCS is able to offer one event live to a special-access DirecTV channel at a time. Lehigh is proud to announce that once again the Lehigh telecast of Saturday's game will air exclusively on this “special” DirecTV channel.
Lehigh alumni gathering at telecast parties throughout the country are encouraged to ensure their viewing location carries DirecTV or has Fox College Sports on their cable system. Fans can see if Fox College Sports is available on cable television in their area by logging on to FoxCollegeSports.com and entering their ZIP code in the box on the left side of the screen. If their telecast location (or home cable system) receives FCS, then they can view the Lehigh telecast live on FCS Atlantic.
