November 19, 2015Time Warner Cable SportsChannel To Televise 14 Siena Basketball Games Across New York State
Time Warner Cable SportsChannel and Siena College are continuing their long-standing programming partnership to again include 14 live televised Siena basketball games this winter. For the first time, all 14 games will be simulcast outside New York state on ESPN3.
The 2015-16 basketball package includes 10 men’s basketball home games, four women’s games, and five editions of the “Saints Alive!” show. The live event coverage will be available to Time Warner Cable subscribers throughout New York state for the sixth consecutive year, and on ESPN3 and ESPN College Extra for the first time (blacked out in New York state).
“We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with Siena College and televise 14 live basketball games this season,” said Steve Arvan, Senior Director of Local Sports Programming at Time Warner Cable. “Siena fans are very passionate and we’re happy Time Warner Cable SportsChannel can provide them with live games and programming about their favorite team.”
Robert Lee and Tom Huerter return to provide the play-by-play and color commentary for the Siena home men’s basketball games, and Mike Demos will have the call for the women’s games. Time Warner Cable SportsChannel will follow each men’s basketball production with live postgame coverage, including postgame press conferences.
“Our partnership with Time Warner distinguished our athletic programs and brings tremendous exposure to Siena College,” Siena vice president and director of athletics John D’Argenio said. “By televising 14 games across New York State on Time Warner Cable SportsChannel, and simulcasting these broadcasts nationally on ESPN’s streaming platforms, we will expand the College’s brand, attract new fans and energize our stakeholders.”
