            JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 8, 2010) - The Buccaneer Sports Network, in cooperation with WJHL 11 Connects, will debut a brand new television coaches show Sunday, Jan. 10 at 11: 30 a.m. on the local CBS network affiliate. The show will air weekly throughout the final two months of the 2009-10 season.

            ETSU Courtside will be a weekly show highlighted by interviews with both ETSU men's head coach Murry Bartow and women's head coach Karen Kemp, along with game highlights and player profiles. The show will air 30 minutes prior to the national basketball coverage on CBS.

            "We are very excited about this opportunity to bring ETSU basketball into homes throughout the area thanks to WJHL," said "Voice of the Bucs" Jay Sandos, the ETSU Assistant Director for Media Relations/Broadcast Operations. "This show will have a more traditional feel for a coach's show, which is much different than our weekly Inside Buc Sports show, which focuses on all our sports at ETSU. We think this is a special opportunity to inform the public about Buccaneer basketball for the next two months."
