How To Get DirecTV | CSTV Programming
Consistent with its mission of featuring the “best of the best” of college sports, CSTV: College Sports Television’s spring programming highlights will include live telecasts featuring Ivy League lacrosse as well as other college sports highlights.
The Georgetown-Princeton women's lacrosse game will be the first event on tap for the League as well as the first broadcast of lacrosse on the network. The game (which has already taken place; telecast on April 9) was a rematch of last year's national title game which Princeton won. It is slated for a 7:30 pm broadcast on the 9th and will be shown again at 3:30 am and 11:30 am on April 10th.
On April 17, Ivy League Athletics will be the subject of 'Conference Calls,' a CSTV original program which will detail the current news of selected conferences.
The remaining two Ivy lacrosse games will be played on April 26th and shown in early May.
On May 1st, the Cornell-Yale women's lacrosse game will be aired at 7 pm and then re-aired the following morning at 3 am and 11 am. Later that day (May 2nd), the Princeton-Loyola game will run at 8 pm (and rebroadcast at 4 am the following morning).
The first television network devoted exclusively to college sports, College Sports Television will launch Monday, April 7, and will be available nationally to DirecTV’s more than 11 million customers on Channel 610 as part of the SPORTS Pack.
