For the third consecutive season, all eight home matches – including the wrestle-offs – can be seen live and on-demand via the Lehigh web site at Lehighsports.com.
“We are thrilled with the depth and breadth of our Lehigh wrestling broadcast coverage this season,” said Jeff Tourial, Lehigh’s Director of Broadcast & Multimedia. “We have one of the most passionate and knowledgeable fan bases in the nation, and our broadcast partners have been extremely supportive in helping us put together one of the most comprehensive wrestling broadcast schedules of any school anywhere.”
In addition to the 12 matches that can be heard on the radio, at least five more matches can be heard exclusively on-line as part of the Yahoo! Sports College Broadcast. An industry leader in on-line broadcasts, Lehigh Athletics will stream well over 200 events on its web site in 2009-10. On-line broadcasts of Lehigh wrestling are being underwritten by the Lehigh Athletics Partnership and will be free of charge this season. The Athletics Partnership is the fundraising arm for the department, funding travel, recruiting and more.
“We are extremely grateful that the Partnership has stepped up to fund the production costs of our Internet broadcasts,” Tourial explained. “As we increase our video presence on-line, the support of our alumni base and loyal fans will enable us to present more in-depth coverage than ever before.”
For the sixth straight season, the broadcast team of Steve Lomangino and Gary Brownell '72 will call the action on the radio. 2 Sports’ Doug Heater and Kyle Berger will team up on each of the televised broadcasts.
Three Lehigh wrestling matches will also air nationally on Fox College Sports. Available in over 56 million homes on cable systems around the country, FCS has partnered with Lehigh for the last five years to air a variety of content, including Lehigh wrestling.
The 2009-10 Lehigh wrestling broadcast schedule gets underway on Friday night, when Lehighsports.com presents live exclusive coverage of the annual wrestle-offs at 7 p.m. with Steve Lomangino and Lehigh wrestling historian Denny Diehl ’70. That broadcast will feature live video for the fourth consecutive year.
