New Vision Sports announces HBCU TV deal
September 1, 2004

Oakland, CA * New Vision Sports Properties has announced that it has negotiated a new television partnership for the 2004 football season on behalf of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC), Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) and Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC).


Spurred by a request from MEAC Commisioner Dennis Thomas for a TV deal that would place teams from his conference in front of larger audiences, New Vision Sports began teaming with corporate advertising partners and brought in Integrated Sports Media (ISM TV), an African-American-owned media production and distribution company, to negotiate with television stations.

The result was 18 televised games from schedules of MEAC, SIAC and SWAC football programs. The schedule will begin with two games on Saturday, September 4 televised by ISM TV. Black Entertainment Television (BET) and College Sports TV (CSTV) will each televise games nationally (three by BET, one by CSTV). Additional national and regional coverage includes 12 games by ISM TV and two by FOX Sports Regional.

"All of the pieces came together to make this very exciting television package materialize," said Commissioner Thomas. "New Vision Sports used its experience to bring corporate America to the table to purchase inventory for our games, and ISM TV brought its expertise in dealing with media outlets so they could realize the value of our institutions. I am looking forward to completing similar television packages for our other sports this season as well."

As part of the 12-game ISM TV package, Chrysler Group and its brands of either Chrysler, Dodge or Jeep will present 12 commercial-free halftimes, allowing fans to view the entire shows between the competing school?s bands without interruption. This presents an added bonus for viewers, as the competition between HBCU bands is almost as legendary and historical as the football games themselves.

"This is an outstanding television package that gives our football programs the national media attention they deserve," said SWAC Commissioner Robert Vowels. "We are elated to know the participating media partners understand the economic value of our universities."

Hey . . .there are NO Southern Games being televised with this company! :shame: :whine: :sick:
 
Seems like the SWAC for got about its or one of its biggest fanbases in getting games on in their area .... that's alright though. Cox gives BR five SU games, BET has J-State, and NBC has the BC. We'll be fine.

Would have liked to see some of those other games though.
 
What channels will be on directv? what fox channel will the state fair clasic be on ?i guess mbc has lost out by not beign more visible to the public.i hate to see them loose but teh swac and meac deserve national coverage.i look for a big network to come calling bcf next year.our product is so pure in every sense.

Urban America Network programming is picked up in Baton Rouge on WBTR-19. Cable channel 22 on Cox.
 
Ok .............So if you have DIRECTV, you can see these games if you get the FOX NET package?

All I have now is the Local Fox, Fox NY, and FOX CALLI.

:lmao: tolja..... :nod:

Man this is some BS. This is not a SWAC package. There are only 3 true SWAC games and one of them is shown on BET. The others are MEAC with a few interconference matchups....:smh: BOGUS

I think BET is also showing the SHC. Now if I were a East Coast person this would be great! Shoot I'd rather watch SIAC than MEAC.

LOL@frat. I totally agree. Heck I got to find out what channel is ISM up here in Minneapolis.
 
Dallas folk -- do you know the affiliate here?

man, looked like I should have stayed on banks of the Hudson
 
They need to have every MEAC vs. SWAC school on a national channel to expose the frauds that the MEAC really is.
 
I just checked the ISM carrier's schedule for this area - Comcast Sports South (CSS) and they are not showing the Alabama St - Howard game - until next Friday afternoon - at 11.30 :shame:
