Football and men's and women's basketball games are just some of the events that will be highlighted on the Ohio Valley Conference's new premium Web site, OVCSports.TV, OVC Commissioner Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher announced Tuesday during the league's annual football media day festivities.
OVCSports.TV, which can be accessed by logging on to the league's official Web site,
www.ovcsports.com, provides an enhanced interactive media platform made possible through a partnership with XOS Technologies, a leading provider of sports technology and media solutions to professional and collegiate teams and conferences.
???‚¬?“This is a new and exciting endeavor for the Ohio Valley Conference,???‚¬?? said Steinbrecher. ???‚¬?“Partnering with XOS has made it possible to promote our member institutions and provide them with additional opportunities to reach out to their fans and alumni on a global basis.
???‚¬?“We have been aggressive in pursuing this new medium,???‚¬?? added Steinbrecher, ???‚¬?“and are expecting to be able to offer OVC fans a wide variety of live and on-demand content from which to choose.???‚¬??
Currently, the OVC plans to make available all regular-season and league championship Conference contests in football and men's and women's basketball, as well as all home non-conference games and select non-conference road contests in those three sports. Streaming video for select baseball, soccer, softball, volleyball and other sports will also be provided.
Subscriptions will be available on an annual, seasonal and per-event basis. Fans can select from live streaming video for selected regular-season and Conference championships as well as highlights, coaches shows, press conferences and other events. In addition, several hours of on-demand content will be available. A preliminary schedule listing the initial content offering will be released in mid-August.
