Mansfield, Mass. - The Northeast 10 Conference is excited to announce the inaugural season of NE10 NOW, a new high-quality streaming service for fans across the country to watch sporting events of the league's 15 member institutions throughout the academic year.
Beginning on Nov. 9, NE10 NOW will be live for the start of men's and women's basketball season, before transitioning to men's and women's lacrosse in the spring. It is part of a three-year release plan that will eventually introduce all 24 NE10 sports to the network.
The NE10 has partnered with Stretch Internet, expanding its relationship with PrestoSports to include a comprehensive, conference-wide video streaming service for athletic and campus events – gaining the ability to broadcast each of the events on the custom-developed NE10 NOW. The network will be available for use on Apple TV, Android TV, Amazon Fire TV and Roku.
"The extension of our relationship with PrestoSports to now include their Stretch Internet solution marks an exciting step forward for the NE10," said Julie Ruppert, NE10 Commissioner. "We are thrilled that we will be able to deliver high-quality HD broadcasts of NE10 sports to parents and fans, enabling us to showcase the athletic excellence of our student-athletes and their coaches."
In addition, the NE10 will partner with BlueFrame Technology to provide production truck software to all 15 member schools. Each institution will utilize the software to more easily and professionally produce content for the league's new streaming platform. Once NE10 NOW is fully implemented, member schools will stream over 1,500 productions annually across the wide-spectrum of 24 varsity sports that the NE10 offers.
