Kansas State announced plans Monday for a high-definition digital network that will broadcast live sports, replays of classic games, news conferences and other events.
The network, called K-StateHD.TV, will feature games that aren’t picked up by the Big 12 Network Television Package. That will include one football game per year, a handful of women’s basketball games and most home volleyball and baseball games. There probably won’t be any men’s basketball games available.
Kansas State sports information director Kenny Lannou said the network is an extension of more limited service already offered through the school’s athletics website provider, CBS College Network.
Subscribers will pay the same amount — $9.95 per month or $79.95 per year — to get the upgraded service. But the games and other events will be shot with higher-quality equipment and using more cameras. Some content, such as campus lectures and performances, will be available for free.
“Before it was typically one camera per sporting event,” Lannou said. “Now the games will be produced with multiple cameras and full high-definition.”
