Who Won't Be Back This Year on SNY's UConn WBB Coverage???

[JavaMan]

According to their website, as of today, SNY will be broadcasting:

• 15 live women's basketball games
• Pre/Half/Post game shows
• Features and updates in GEICO SportsNite
• 10 Geno Auriemma Coach's Show
• Season Preview Special
• Season Review Special
• Tournament Preview Special
• UConn Women's All-Access

Also, the on-air cast of characters from the previous few years including Gary, Justine, Kara, and Meghan are listed on the SNY site. But Eric Frede is no longer listed as an SNY personality.

Say it ain't so...please, somebody, say it ain't so!

Unfortunately the two people mentioned, Meghan and Kara, are really color commentators, and I've never seen Kara do in game color. So without Eric we're left with what, a rotating generic cast of play by play announcers chosen from their in studio people? A bunch of guest announcers? This looks either fishy or is a clear mistake.

 

[Alydar]

There is always someone who is skilled at knowing how to break for ads and do all the things we don't hear. Frankly, as much as I admire es-players I would rather listen to the radio broadcast along with a muted video feed.

Frede and Culmo had a great easy on air rapport. I'll be sorry to see him go, if he is leaving.

Thanks for this, J-Man. Those of us w/out access to SNY are used to watching the SNY telecast on ESPN3. I assume that will remain the case. However, other SNY features aren't on ESPN3. I watch the Geno show, for example, on YouTube or at the site where the recordings of UConn games are kept. Wonder if the game archive site will continue to be available . . .

At least JustinesGuy will not be disappointed. Where has he been lately, anyway? Or did he switch his focus to Kelsey Plum, as he implied he might do?

 

[mbr33ct]

Is Joe D'Ambrosio calling UConn Men's games or unemployed?

 

[hoopsfan22]

Eric Frede doesn't work for SNY. I think he's a freelancer which is why you see him on other networks from time to time, which might be why he's not listed with the others.

That's a pretty good slate of games - But I think we have about 30 regular season games or so? They are only covering half? Are the rest on ESPN or CBSportsnet?

Post edit -

The remainder of the games will be broadcast on CBS sports net, ESPN and Fox Sports 1. If you look at the UConn women's schedule that Biff provided for us at the top of the board, it shows which TV network will televise each game (except the Vanderbilt game which will be televised on the SEC network) this season.

Per the DePaul WBB official website, the UConn game on Mon Dec 16th will be televised on Fox Sports1

There's a link to the UConn WBB schedule, including the broadcast information, pinned to the top of WBB forum. Most of the games are identified with maybe 2 or 3 not identified. One game not identified was the Vandy game which will be on SEC Network and most likely on ESPN3.

@Carnac you beat me. As I posted, the Vandy game is currently scheduled for the SEC Network and ESPN3.

Is the DePaul game still TBD?

Great I get all of the Conference networks, so I can watch Crystal Dangerfield's homecoming game without the cr@p from ESPN during the halftime break on ESPN3.

He was dismissed from the BY.

 

[Bama fan]

He was dismissed from the BY.

Really? I figured he was just busy stalking Justine.

 

[JavaMan]

Really? I figured he was just busy stalking Justine.

Yes, really.

 

[JordyG]

Yes, really.

He must have been really, really .

 

[tomcat]

Hey, folks,
I Googled Eric Frede and unless I missed something, there is no mention of SNY or UConn Women's Basketball in his Wikipedia or other bios on line. Has there been an acrimonious parting of the ways here?

 

[JavaMan]

...Has there been an acrimonious parting of the ways here?

I certainly hope not. In fact, I hope there has been absolutely no parting of the ways. To me, it won't be the same without him. But I noticed the same lack of information that you did.

 

[Centerstream]

Maybe they will have Dave O'Brien do SNY WBB play by play.

 

[Zanzman]

Maybe they will have Dave O'Brien do SNY WBB play by play.

Hope not

 

[JavaMan]

Maybe they will have Dave O'Brien do SNY WBB play by play.

Actually, that wishful thinking crossed my mind as well. I haven't heard anything about what Dave is doing now.

 

[soxfan23]

Will the games this year on SNY also be available on ESPN3 as they have been in the past? I looked at the ESPN3 schedule and as of right now none of them are listed.

 

[geneticrex]

My cable system no loner carries SNY.

I m doomed.

He is the announcer for the Red Sox. For a few years now. He still does some other games in the off-season.
