Hokie baseball to be televised four times

The ACC and Commissioner John D. Swofford announced the 2008 baseball television schedule on Wednesday, and Virginia Tech will appear on the air four times this season.

Exposure of ACC baseball success continues in 2008, as this year’s television package features 51 games on six different networks. The airtime bundle will showcase all 12 league teams and include 38 games from the regular season and all 13 contests in the ACC Baseball Championship.
 
In addition to this year’s television package, ACC Select will continue carrying numerous conference baseball games. Last year, ACC Select delivered an unprecedented opportunity for fans to watch live and on-demand coverage as more than 115 games were streamed online. It also marked the first time in ACC history that the conference provided online video streams of the sport’s regular season games to a national fan base. As additional games continue to be added to the 2008 schedule, visit ACCSelect.com/baseball for the most up-to-date listing of ACC baseball action on ACC Select.
 
Fifteen regular-season games will be broadcast on Comcast Sports Southeast (CSS) and eight others will air on the Regional Sports Networks (RSN). Sun Sports Network (SSN) will pick up six contests from the regular season, while five will be featured on the Sports South (SS) airwaves. Assignment of television networks for each game in the ACC Championship will be determined at a later date.

The Hokies’ TV schedule for regular season games is as follows:
Sunday, March 23: FSU at VT – 1 p.m. (SUN)
Saturday, March 29: VT at UVa – 1 p.m. (RSN)
Saturday, April 12: VT at WF – 1 p.m. (RSN)
Sunday, May 11: Miami at VT – 12 p.m. (CSS)
