Crew, ONN-TV announce broadcast partnership, weekly show
Posted by: Crew Communications // Category: General News
The Crew and ONN-TV today announced a broadcast partnership that will ensure that every Crew regular-season game will still be available on television for the third consecutive year. Ohio’s Channel for news, weather, sports and lifestyles programming, becomes the Crew’s exclusive regional broadcast partner through the 2011 season.
ONN will broadcast 21 regular-season Crew games this season – home and away – starting with First Kick 2009 vs. Toronto FC on Saturday, March 28, at 4 p.m. (ET).
Another exciting element of the deal is the introduction of a new weekly show on ONN, “CrewXtra,” which will air every Wednesday during the season at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. An interactive companion to the show, CrewXtra.com will be launched in conjunction with The Columbus Dispatch coverage. The show and site will provide Crew fans in-depth coverage and access to the team, including game recaps, breakdowns and previews of the upcoming matches, while interspersing other news, interviews, discussion and interactive features.
