"It has been a privilege for us to help share the unique
and engaging story of Flyer basketball led by Coach Brian Gregory. This program
is a role model for collegiate athletic programs in terms of on- and
off-the-court accountability and performance," said Roy Cheran, director of
business development at Mind Over Media, a multimedia communications firm in
Pittsburgh that produced the television show.
In November, the University of Dayton entered into a
television rights agreement with Fox Sports Ohio. The network is carrying five
men's basketball games, airing the half-hour show six times and running
University commercials throughout the season.
In all, a record 27 Dayton men's basketball games are
being televised this season. Flyer games are being shown locally on WHIO-TV,
regionally through Fox Sports Ohio and CBS College Sports and nationally on
ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN3 and CBS College Sports.
The University continues its
long-standing local television package with WHIO-TV, a partnership that dates
back to 1951. The combination of strong local, regional and national
coverage is paramount to our program," said Tim Wabler, vice president and
director of athletics.
"FOX Sports Ohio is a known high-quality commodity across
the state, and its broadcast footprint aligns well geographically with where
many of our alumni reside and where we recruit students to attend the University
of Dayton.
All Flyer home games, not nationally televised, can be
viewed via live video stream for free on DaytonFlyers.com through Dayton
All-Access.
