Lehigh Video and Audio Broadcasts On-Line
An industry leader in video webcasting, the Lehigh Athletics department has announced that it has once again teamed with Yahoo! Sports (sports.yahoo.com) to deliver real-time audio and video broadcasts throughout the 2008-09 school year. By logging on to Lehighsports.com and selecting one of two subscription options, fans can access live audio and video broadcasts of Lehigh games in a number of sports. All users will be required to subscribe to one of the Yahoo! packages (via the link above or below) in order to access Lehigh’s broadcasts.
The Yahoo! Sports audio and video offerings are available for both broadband and dial-up users, and enable fans to listen to the official Lehigh radio broadcast or watch the live television broadcast of select events. Most home games (for participating sports) are streamed live on Lehighsports.com through our partnership with Yahoo! As a result, fans and alumni that live thousands of miles from Bethlehem can follow every game as if they were back on campus and listening to Lehigh's announcers. Once again in 2008-09, Lehigh fans will be able to watch streaming video of more events than ever before – at no additional cost.
Over the upcoming school year, Lehigh will broadcast over 200 events on the Athletics Web site, including every football and basketball game, every wrestling dual meet, and most home contests for men’s and women’s soccer, field hockey, volleyball, baseball, softball, and men’s and women’s lacrosse.
All of the schools that are making audio content available via Yahoo! Sports in 2008-09 – including Lehigh – will offer the following subscription packages:
1. School Pass Subscription – For $4.95 per month, users have access to all streamed sports broadcasts for Lehigh Athletics, including both audio and video.
2. College Pack Subscription – Each school has been integrated into and offered as part of the College Pack subscription for $9.95/month. This package allows users to access all college broadcasts for ALL Yahoo! partnered schools.
For a complete list of schools participating in the Yahoo! Sports College Pack, please visit the Yahoo! Sports web site (sports.yahoo.com).

Lehigh Football on TV
Distinctive and the model for which all other Division I-AA television packages strive, Lehigh Athletics enters its 21st season of local, regional, and national football coverage on commercial television. Lehigh broadcasts are the most-watched in the Patriot League (source: Nielsen). Nationally, Lehigh football can be seen on both DirecTV and DISH Network, as well as on Fox College Sports (available in over 56 million homes via digital cable systems nationwide). Regionally on FSN Pittsburgh, fans in Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Scranton and parts of Maryland, West Virginia, and Ohio can follow Lehigh football, while the WFMZ-TV signal can be seen in the Lehigh Valley, Philadelphia, Reading, and Western New Jersey. Locally, Lehigh football home games can be seen in the Lehigh Valley on Service Electric Cable’s 2 Sports. Service Electric is the area’s largest cable provider.
Nationally known and respected announcing teams plus high-quality production are also distinctions of Lehigh football telecasts. Steve Degler (voice of Reading Phillies baseball), former Lehigh quarterback and Penske Hall of Fame member Marty Horn ’86 and former Lehigh linebacker Mike Yadush '93 call the action on a national and regional level. Locally, Mike Zambelli (Service Electric Sports Director) joins Yadush ‘93 to handle the announcing duties.
