Army West Point Athletics
Fall Multi-Media Schedule Announced
August 25, 2008 | General
WEST POINT, N.Y. Officials from the Army Athletic Association unveiled their fall plan for a comprehensive weekly slate of multi-media coverage Monday, much of which will be available to Black Knight fans free of charge.
Partnered with JumpTV, the Army Athletic Association offers fans a subscription-based package titled Knight Vision." Through Knight Vision, fans gain multi-media access to over 200 scheduled live and archived events throughout the course of the academic year to include audio and video streaming of game action, postgame shows, press conferences, coaches’ shows and weekly press conferences.
In addition to the subscription plan for live event coverage, Knight Vision will offer an exciting weekly package of multi-media features that will focus on all 25 intercollegiate athletic programs. For the second consecutive year, much of the weekly material will remain free of charge to visitors to www.goARMYsports.com.
Knight Vision will launch its weekly schedule on Tuesday, Aug. 26, with heavy coverage of Army’s football team slated throughout the fall.
On Mondays, Knight Vision will offer a video interview with the Army Athlete of the Week, as well a glimpse at the Army Play of the Week. Knight Vision will also post a highlights package of the previous week’s football game, with that feature debuting on Monday, Sept. 1. Army’s weekly Tuesday press conference with head football coach Stan Brock will be available to Knight Vision subscribers, while all fans will have access to a highlight package of the press conference later in the day. In addition, a weekly football practice report will appear on Tuesday evenings.
Knight Vision reporters will post a weekly Olympic sport feature on Wednesdays, with “Black Knight Sound Bites,” a rapid-fire question-answering session with various Army athletes, returning on www.goARMYsports.com that day as well.
Football will remain in the forefront on Thursdays with a weekly gridiron feature and a live video stream of the “This Week in Army Football” show from Thayer Hotel highlighting Knight Vision’s programming. The latter will be available only to Knight Vision subscribers.
Another weekly football feature will be posted on Fridays, while an Olympic sport weekend preview will provide Army fans with a look at what’s on tap on the Army sports scene.
Knight Vision will deliver day-long coverage of Army football Saturdays at West Point for Knight Vision subscribers with more than five consecutive hours of live programming planned. The action begins two hours prior to kickoff with a live video stream of the “Army Football Tailgate Show,” originating from Black Knights Alley just outside Michie Stadium. Knight Vision will then carry an audio stream of the Army Sports Network’s pregame show and play-by-play action of the Black Knights’ contests. The “Army Overtime Online” show will complete the day’s live programming, with a video stream of the postgame roundup show hitting cyberspace shortly after the conclusion of play. The show will include live video streaming of Army’s postgame press conferences, player interviews and additional commentary.
During away football contests, Knight Vision will provide an audio stream of the “Army Football Tailgate Show,” originating from the home team’s press box, as well as pregame, game and postgame coverage of that day’s Black Knights’ gridiron battle.
In addition to those exciting new initiatives, Knight Vision will also broadcast live video streams of an unprecedented amount of intercollegiate athletic events to include game casts from women’s volleyball, and men’s and women’s soccer this fall.
All of these events will be archived and available to subscribers upon demand on an unlimited basis throughout the season as will special audio and video entries from Army’s history vault that will be posted on Army’s Web site periodically.
Monthly and yearly subscription packages for Knight Vision are now available for purchase on Army’s official Web site at www.goARMYsports.com.
