PSB Live to Broadcast NJCAA Championship Events on NJCAA TV through 2013

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Oct. 7, 2010) – The National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) is pleased to announce that it has agreed in principal to a three-year contract with Panhandle Sports Broadcasting (PSB Live) to broadcast its national championship events.

Last year, the two entities launched NJCAA TV on the organization’s website www.njcaa.org and delivered live coverage of six selected NJCAA championships. To date viewership numbers from last season’s Division I Volleyball Championship, Football Championship, Men’s & Women’s Division I Basketball Championship, Division Baseball World Series and Division I Softball Championship has reached over 320,000.

 

“This is an exciting time in the NJCAA,” commented Executive Director Mary Ellen Leicht. “The NJCAA is dedicated to the promotion of the two-year college student-athlete and creating exceptional opportunities for young people to succeed. What better way to do that than by creating a platform for our student-athletes to compete in front of a world-wide audience? We look forward to this partnership with PSB Live and the exposure it will create for our student-athletes, member colleges and host cities of our championship events.”

A minimum of six national championship events will be broadcasted on NJCAA TV and PSB Live (www.psblive.com) beginning with the 2010-2011 academic year through the 2012-13 season with the possibility of additional coverage to be implemented at a later date.

Scheduled to be video streamed live on NJCAA TV and PSB Live this season are the following events:

- 2010 NJCAA Division I Volleyball Championship (Nov. 18-20) from West Plains, Mo.

- A NJCAA Football Bowl Game (to be selected after Nov. 17, 2010)
