as I stated before ...I signed up for the "annual"...upon looking at it again...it is not clear if there will be live video streaming of the games.

Maybe this is an "enhanced" pay version of what was available last year with Yahoo.

The basketball team is most likely getting a revenue share on the subscriptions.....

I have sent an e-mail to the customer service folks and asked them for more details and the schedule for live video...

details to follow!

Since it only states "Live Game Audio" rather than live game video, I think it's safe to say you'll be listening to the local radio broadcast. If you're lucky they might slap a cheap webcam on the scorer's table.

This was taken right from the promotion...I could see where one might think there was a video as well!

[Copenhagen]

MAYBE I WAS TOO EXCITED ABOUT THE PROSPECTS OF SEEING THE GAMES LIVE....I SUBSCRIBE TO MLB & THE NBA LIVE VIDEOSTREAMING PRODUCTS AND BOTH ARE FIRST RATE BUT COST AROUND $15.00 A MONTH..

I HAVE 1MB-DOWNLINK ON MY BROADBAND SERVICE SO THE QUALITY IS EXCELLENT....

WHEN I GET THE REPLY FROM THE C/S ON THE DETAILS OF THE SERVICE; I WILL POST THEM....HOPEFULLY 20-25% OF THE GAMES ARE VIDEO...WOULD SUSPECT THAT THE NEXT YEAR THERE WILL BE MORE WITH ALL GAMES AVAILABLE BEFORE MICHAEL LEE & TYLER GRADUATE..

I'm unsure about this year, but last year I was able to watch a few games with streaming video through ESPN Fullcourt. It's something like $10/game. I think there were about 4 games on Fullcourt last year.

Athletics Department to launch New GoBonnies.com
Site will include Bonnies All-Access subscription package for audio and video

Aug. 11, 2005

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. - GoBonnies.com is getting a make-over.

The official Web site of St. Bonaventure University's Athletics Department is being re-designed during the summer months with a projected launch of early September.

The new site is an extension of St. Bonaventure's continuing partnership with College Sports Online (CSO), the top provider of online solutions for college and university athletics departments.



Another highlight will be the audio/video content section, which will be called "Bonnies All-Access." Subscribers to Bonnies All-Access will be able to access live game broadcasts of all men's basketball games and the Anthony Solomon Coach's Show as well as available women's basketball, baseball and softball games. For the first time, video content will be offered in addition to the audio. Bonnies All-Access will offer video content such as highlights, interviews with coaches and features on student-athletes. Finally, St. Bonaventure and CSO are working on a video platform which would offer fans the chance to watch games live.

Bonnies All-Access will cost $6.95 for a one-month subscriptions or $49.95 for the 2005-06 school year. Subscribers who purchase prior to Sept. 3 can save $2 off the monthly rate or $10 off the annual rate. A percentage of each subscription will go to St. Bonaventure.

"We simply were not able to offer our fans free audio like we've done in the past," Mest explained. "Moving to the Bonnies All-Access platform will enable us to offer much, much more content than ever before. We will now be able to produce an unlimited number of video features and an unlimited number of live game broadcasts, enabling us to give exposure to all 14 of our sports teams.

"We realize that charging for this service affects alumni and fans, so we considered this decision very seriously," he said. "The primary reason for our decision is that we wanted to deliver more programming at a better quality. Streaming broadcasts and hosting multimedia are expensive endeavors on the scale required to support all of our fans. While we want to provide our fans and alumni with the best possible programming, we are also aware of the financial burden of making this a paid service. That is why we offer both monthly and annual options, to allow our fans to choose the content and price point best suited to them."
