VESTAL, N.Y. – Binghamton University's Division of Athletics will continue its ties with Emmy Award winning regional sports network SportsNet New York (SNY), the Division announced Monday. The widespread exposure into the University's alumni-rich Metropolitan area will complement Binghamton's existing 100+ event home broadcast schedule.
In its second year of partnership with SNY, Binghamton will stretch its scope with nine broadcasts spanning four sports during the fall semester. The arrangement is expected to further expand in the spring semester with more games featuring additional Bearcat sports teams.
"We are extremely excited to continue and expand our partnership with SNY," Senior Associate Director of Athletics
Patrick Murphy said. "This allows us to increase our footprint and University brand all across New York State and especially downstate where a large pocket of our alumni and students reside. We have a great story to tell here at Binghamton University and the SNY platform further enables us to do that."
On the schedule for the fall are nine home events that will be simulcast on ESPN platforms, beginning with a volleyball match against NJIT on Oct. 5. Additional fall competitions include a key late-season women's soccer game against Vermont on Oct. 26 and a rivalry volleyball match with UAlbany on Oct. 31.
Five men's and women's basketball broadcasts close out the calendar year. SNY will show women's games against St. Bonaventure (Nov. 11) and Colgate (Dec. 20) and basketball doubleheaders on Dec. 6 and Dec. 13. Fans can watch the Bearcat men face Le Moyne (Dec. 6) and Central Connecticut State (Dec. 13) after the women host Buffalo (Dec. 6) and Marist (Dec. 13) earlier each afternoon.
SNY is an Emmy Award winning, multi-platform regional sports network serving approximately 11 million homes across the country through unparalleled coverage of the New York Mets, Jets and all things New York sports. SNY is also available nationwide on satellite via DirecTV and by downloading the SNY app on IOS and Android devices.
