STORRS , Conn. --- The University of Connecticut and Cox Sports Television have formed a new partnership that will see a number of UConn sporting events televised by the channel, including live coverage of the UConn Blue-White Spring Football Game on Saturday, April 14 at 12 p.m.

Wayne Norman of the UConn Radio Network and WILI Radio in Willimantic will be play-by-play for softball with Doris Yon of the Danbury News-Times on color.
“We are very pleased to begin this relationship with Cox Sports,” says UConn Director of Athletics Jeff Hathaway. “It is an outstanding opportunity for a number of our programs to receive unprecedented exposure. We were impressed with the quality of the Cox Sports productions and look forward to brining their production expertise to these UConn athletic events.”
“This is a great opportunity for UConn sports fans to catch the Huskies on Cox Sports,” said Paul Cronin, vice president and region manager, Cox Communications New England. “Showcasing these talented teams in these exciting games emphasizes our commitment to offering compelling local sports to our customers.”
