Bethlehem, PA - Lehigh Athletics and its on-line broadcast partner, Yahoo! Sports, have teamed up to bring Lehigh fans up-to-date on all the goings-on in Lehigh Athletics with the Lehigh Sports Magazine television show. Beginning on October 28, the TV show can be seen each Tuesday at 3:30 pm on Lehigh's web site. Each show will then be archived for viewing at any time.
The agreement strengthens Lehigh's relationship with Yahoo! Sports. The two partners have worked together to stream live audio of almost 200 events on Lehigh's web site during the 2003-04 school year. For a modest subscription fee, fans can tune in to live broadcasts for 12 Lehigh teams. Now, as part of that package, Lehigh fans have the opportunity to get a comprehensive look at all 25 varsity teams at Lehigh through the Lehigh Sports Magazine.
The Lehigh Sports Magazine originates on WFMZ-TV in the Lehigh Valley and surrounding areas every Monday night at 7:30. The show is then broadcast to a nationwide audience on DirecTV channel 628 via Fox Sports Net Pittsburgh every Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 pm ET. The half hour show, produced by Lehigh Athletics, features coach and player interviews from all varsity teams as well as the first annual Lehigh Superstars Challenge - where student-athletes from each varsity sport at Lehigh compete against one another in various skill challenges.
Current subscribers to Lehigh's Yahoo! Sports College Broadcast package need not sign up for anything additional to view the show. Simply visit Lehigh's television and radio page to tune in. For others, a subscription to the Lehigh package will be necessary to view the Lehigh Sports Magazine. For $4.95 per month or $29.95 per year, fans can tune in to almost 200 events on Lehigh's web site, including the Lehigh Sports Magazine each week.
