Telecasts begin with men's game vs. Tennessee
State
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- Continuing its long-standing support of
Tennessee Tech athletics, Cookeville television station WCTE TV has
announced plans to air 10 Golden Eagle basketball games from Eblen
Center during the 2012-13 season. The station's program lineup
includes five women's games and five men's games.
Program director Rick Wells announced the program schedule, which
begins this week and runs through late-February.
The first game to be televised will be this Thursday night with
the men's contest against Tennessee State, with tipoff slated for 7
p.m. The cameras will be aimed at the action for both games
Saturday during a doubleheader against Belmont, and also on Monday
night for the women's game against Tennessee State.
"Our entire staff is excited about the opportunity to continue to
televise Tennessee Tech basketball this season, and we hope to
provide the best coverage possible," Wells said. "This season
promises to be extremely exciting with both teams right in the
thick of the hunt for OVC championships, and being able to provide
television coverage should add to the excitement."
The schedules will bring WCTE's cameras to Eblen Center for live
home game telecasts with five Ohio Valley Conference rivals
-- Tennessee State, Belmont, Austin Peay, Jacksonviile State,
and Eastern Kentucky. Eight of those games are featured in
doubleheaders (Jan. 5 vs. Belmont, Jan. 26 vs. Austin Peay, Feb. 9
vs. Jacksonville State and Feb. 28 vs. Eastern Kentucky), with the
women's game at 5:30 p.m. and the men's game following.
