Athletics, WBRN, Team to Provide Webcasts
The
Ferris State Athletics department and Big Rapids radio affiliate
WBRN 1460 AM are teaming up to offer free Internet webcasts for
selected Bulldog Athletics events during the 2003-04 season to
anyone with access to the official Ferris Athletics Web site at
www.ferris.edu/sports.
Selected Bulldog men’s ice hockey along
with men’s and women’s basketball games will be broadcast.
Dates and times for those broadcasts will be posted when available
on Athletics’ Web site.
“We’re pleased to provide this service
to our parents, alumni and fans, in response to inquiries we’ve
received over the past few years,” said Athletics Director
Tom Kirinovic. “This is another step in raising the level
of awareness for the great product we have in Bulldog Athletics.”
For those interested in tuning in, an icon has
been established at www.ferris.edu/sports. Fans can then access
the live broadcast by WBRN through a link to the Ferris Cable
Channel 7 Web site. Those logging on will need to utilize free
RealPlayer software, which is available for download at the site.
Once online, fans also will find additional information about
the service and a list of upcoming events.
“This is a great opportunity for our alumni
outside of the surrounding community to keep track of the Bulldogs,”
said Brian Kegler, assistant athletics director. “We’re
excited we’ll be able to bring Bulldog Athletics coverage
to our fans both locally and nationally.”

Athletics webcasts, please contact the Athletics Communications
