Southland Announces 2015-16 ASN Basketball Coverage
Southland Conference
FRISCO, Texas – A selection of 10 Southland Conference men’s basketball games will be televised on the American Sports Network during the upcoming 2015-16 season, including seven during conference play. ASN is set to feature key Southland contests in primetime on Mondays in January and February.
“We are very pleased to partner with American Sports Network on a number of great men’s basketball matchups this season,” Southland Commissioner Tom Burnett said. “Fans will get a chance to see some key non-conference games early in the year as well as important and exciting league matchups down the stretch of the season.”
After three games at road and neutral venues during November and December, action shifts to Southland arenas in the new year, beginning with Texas A&M-Corpus Christi visiting Lamar on Jan. 11.
The conference’s agreement with ASN, which began this fall with football broadcasts and continues through 2016-17, represents a significant addition to the
Southland’s national television package with ESPN. Additionally, all Southland games on ASN will also be streamed globally via
Southland.org/watch and the
Southland Conference app.
ASN is composed of 161 Sinclair-owned and operated television stations nationwide that combine to reach approximately 43 million households nationwide. ASN has also developed an affiliate network of regional sports networks to increase the per-game potential distribution to more than 60 million households. The company, which launched in 2014-15, produced 250 college events in nine sports during its inaugural year.
An updated list of affiliates will be available at
Southland.org/ASN prior to each broadcast.
