Philadelphia, Pa. -
CSTV and the Atlantic 10 will make more men's basketball programming available to fans this season than ever before with the conference's most comprehensive package of games being distributed in syndication. CSTV has reached agreements with 14 regional outlets providing the broadest ever distribution of Atlantic 10 men's basketball, including clearance in the conference's core markets and many outer market outlets giving the games a national footprint. The package features 32 men's basketball games beginning on January 12, including the Atlantic 10 Conference Men's Basketball Championship Quarterfinal and Semifinal games. The full list of games is included below.
Due to the new television schedule, the starting times for two Fordham home games has been changed. The January 19th game with Duquesne will begin at 2:00 PM while the March 1st game against Dayton will start at 7:00 PM.
The Rams will also have another game televised this winter as the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network will televise the Fordham-Charlotte game on Sunday, February 17th at 6:00 PM (note that this is a time change from some of the previously released schedules).

"Now in its second year, our partnership with CSTV continues to be a success, providing more exposure and in-depth coverage of the Atlantic 10 than ever before."
