FAMU to offer athletics webcasts for a fee

The FAMU Department of Athletics will begin streaming selected Rattler sports events live this year under the "Rattler Vision" banner as a pay-per-view subscription service.  Rattler Vision will replace the previously free FAMCAST sports broadcast.  Five football games are slated to be broadcast this season.



Vantage Media will produce the broadcast under contract with the Rattler Boosters. The football contests against Fort Valley State, Southern University, Delaware State, Howard University, and North Carolina A&T are all on the broadcast schedule. Road match-ups against Savannah State and North Carolina Central might be added, as well.



A select number of basketball and volleyball games will be available, too.



The prices are $7.95 for a single game, $8.95 for a month, $24.95 for four months and $59.95 for a full year. Fan can sign up at www.famuathletics.com. Subscribers will also have access to weekly press conferences and special programming.
