Wayne State University and B2 Networks today announced a partnership bringing Warrior athletics to the revolutionary broadband broadcasting network. The partnership will begin with this Saturday, May 5, when Wayne State's graduation ceremonies will be broadcast for a $6 fee beginning at 11:00 a.m. EDT.
By teaming with B2 Networks, Wayne State athletics will be available for viewing by a world wide audience. Beginning this fall, GLIAC events such as football, men's and women's basketball along with Division I CHA hockey will be available through the school athletic website wsuathletics.com.
"This partnership extends our outreach network for our fans and over 250,000 alumni worldwide," commented Wayne State University Athletics Director Rob Fournier. "This B2 association, combined with our Michigan-wide television package, extended radio agreement with WDTK (1400 AM) for football, basketball and hockey and live streaming of events provides professional, top-quality options for our growing fan base. After reviewing a number of opportunities, B2 provided the first-class affiliation our supporters have come to expect."
Fans wanting to watch Wayne State events via B2 will need a high-speed internet connection and Windows Media Player 9 or higher. Games will be sold on an individual basis with special viewing packages to be announced at a later date.
"B2 Networks is very happy to welcome Wayne State as a broadcast partner," said Bruce LeVine, B2 Networks' Senior Vice President of Sports. "By adding Wayne State we are now able to offer games from four different GLIAC schools and a second member of College Hockey America, giving fans more choices than ever to follow their favorite sports and players.
