SNY will serve as the home for University of Connecticut sports as part of a multi-year partnership announced Thursday.
Beginning next month the regional sports network will feature 300 hours of UConn programming annually, including 120 hours of Huskie college football, basketball, and other college game coverage, according to the network. In addition, the network will expand its coverage of the Big East powerhouse school throughout its sports news and entertainment programming.
In September, SNY will produce and air five live UConn football games as well as offer a UConn Huskies football season preview show and a re-air of every Huskies football game, according to the network.
For hoops season, the network will air at least 13 Huskies college basketball games and at least one women's basketball game each season, along with a Men's basketball preview show and specials featuring the coaches of the UConn men's and women's basketball teams.
"We're excited to have this landmark partnership with the University of Connecticut, one of the preeminent schools in the Big East Conference and in the nation," said Steve Raab, President of SNY in a statement. "SNY will provide UConn fans with an unprecedented level of in-depth coverage and original programming dedicated to the Huskies."
