Melville, NY – Today the SME Network has announced a plan to expand its broadcast coverage for the upcoming 2007 playoffs. Part of the coverage will include the broadcast rights to the NCAA Division I National Championship Game for at least one of the two semi-final games.

Along with live game broadcasts, the SME Network will also run full day, in studio coverage throughout the first two rounds of the FCS Playoffs. This coverage will include live game updates from reporters at the game, along with opportunities for fans to call-in and be apart of the show.

Is that going to be video coverage or just audio?

If I understand it correctly, it's radio and internet audio.

Video would have been more impressive. Most hardcore fans can track down audio on almost any game if they are willing to put up with homer announcers.

ESPN pretty much has the video part locked up. Which you can view online w/ ESPN360

Which is fantastic...unless you are a Comcast customer and can't get ESPN360...
