The Canisius athletic department announced today that 16 home Golden Griffin sporting events during the fall season will be aired live on ESPN3, starting Tuesday, Sept. 15, when the volleyball team meets cross-town rival Buffalo at 7 p.m., in the Koessler Athletic Center.
In March, Canisius announced that it has entered into a new agreement with ESPN, under which its students will produce live Canisius athletic programing for ESPN3. The multi-camera HD game productions will feature full ESPN-branded graphics, replays and two or three-person broadcast crews. The student productions will be directed by Canisius’ athletic communications and digital media staffs. These events will be available to more than 99 million households and by an additional 21 million U.S.-based college students and military personnel.
A total of nine Canisius home volleyball matches will be broadcast live on ESPN3, including eight matches against MAAC rivals. Four Canisius men’s soccer games will be shown on ESPN3 and three women’s soccer home dates will be featured on ESPN’s digital platform as well.
