50 Yards to Glory

Monday, Feb 2, 2009 at 3:18 am by admin

Sometime during the four years of high school, members of the CitrusTV Sports Department realized that a future as a collegiate or professional athlete was not in the cards. Instead, a career in sports journalism better suited their athletic abilities or lack thereof.

But that doesn’t mean they don’t feel the need for competition every once in a while.

Forman's best attempt at proper cabling

Forman's best attempt at proper cabling

In addition to the unmatched on-air opportunities CitrusTV provides, the experience also teaches everyone important skills to maintain station equipment. This includes the proper method to coil cables.

Eric Forman ’11 hasn’t quite yet mastered that technique, yet he felt compelled to challenge operations manager (and master of the over-under method) Wes Purvis ’10 to a duel.

The challenge — a 50 yard cable used for SUper Sports stretched out over the Carrier Dome turf. The fastest to properly coil the cable would be declared the winner and earn all of the glory.

After the jump, you can view the race through pictures taken by Gordon Brookes ’09. Let’s just say it wasn’t close. Read the rest of this entry »


Cuse Countdown To Air Live

Monday, Feb 2, 2009 at 2:33 am by admin

cc-logo-2-with-wordsCitrusTV’s weekly pregame show — Cuse Countdown — highlighting the revenue sport of the season will air live this Saturday (February 7th) at 11:30 am on the Orange Television Network prior to the Syracuse/Villanova men’s basketball game.

With Cuse Countdown before the game and Orange Press Pass after, CitrusTV will be providing wall-to-wall coverage for the Syracuse fan.

Saturday’s show will not be Countdown’s first live show of the school year. In the fall, Countdown aired on Time Warner Sports 26 from the Carrier Dome directly prior to the Syracuse/Cornell men’s basketball game.

The production will be led by executive producer Scott Grodsky ’11 and associate producers AJ Donatoni ’10 and Landon Stolar ’10. Donatoni, Dan Moscaritolo ’11 and Kevin Ware ’11 will be featured on air.

“Obviously the opportunity to produce live television is an exciting challenge,” said Grodsky. “The Countdown team will be working hard in the coming week to make a successful live show.”

Cuse Countdown regularly airs at 4:30 on Friday on Time Warner Sports 26 and throughout the week on the Orange Television Network. Check out the Cuse Countdown page for full episodes and clips from the show.
