Time Warner Cable Offers Customers Syracuse University @ Akron Football Season Opener Live on Time Warner Cable Sports Channels, Saturday (9/4) at 6:00 p.m.

Release Date:09/03/2010

Time Warner Cable is pleased to announce that with the cooperation of ESPN, it will be offering its cable customers across Upstate New York Saturday’s coverage of Syracuse University’s football season opener at Akron LIVE on its Time Warner Cable Sports channels (Time Warner Cable Sports in Central New York (check local listings) and Albany (channel 3), and on overflow channels in both Buffalo (channel 87) and Rochester (channel 98).)

“We’re pleased that with the completion of our agreement with ESPN and its parent The Walt Disney Companies, ESPN has granted us permission to carry Saturday’s game live on our cable channels,” said Time Warner Cable Area V.P. of Operations Henry Pearl.

The game had been originally announced for coverage only on ESPN3.com, the network’s online channel. While Time Warner Cable customers will soon have access to that platform as the result of the just-concluded agreement, it was not possible to offer online access in time for tomorrow’s kick-off.
