In a deal which will more than double Liberty Athletics' television coverage around the country and worldwide, Liberty has announced that JCTV will be airing the Flames' home football and men's basketball games throughout the 2009-10 season.
Starting with a re-air of Liberty's 35-10 victory over North Carolina Central, JCTV is currently scheduled to air the first five home football games of Flames' 2009 season.
The re-air of Liberty's season-opening victory is slated to run on Saturday at 1 p.m. (EST). The remaining four games will air approximately two hours following kickoff, beginning with Liberty's game against James Madison (7 p.m., kickoff), which will air at 9 p.m. (EST) on Sept. 26.
Following the football season, JCTV will continue to air the Flames Sports Network's coverage of the Liberty men's basketball program, as they air each national home game on a two-hour tape-delayed basis. The first basketball game to be aired on JCTV will be Nov. 19, when the Flames host in-state foe Old Dominion. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. and the tape-delayed broadcast is slated to begin at 9 p.m.
