CSUN Sports Network to feature CSUN Deportes

CSUN Athletics announced that it will feature CSUN Deportes Spanish-language video content as part of the newly-created CSUN Sports Network, which will launch in the fall. CSUN Deportes Spanish-language content will feature Spanish-speaking CSUN student-athletes and coaches as well as give fans updates on all things Matadors. This new Spanish-language video content will be showcased on GoMatadors.com and the Matadors’ social media handles and give fans a way to connect with the Matadors in Spanish for the first time ever. CSUN Deportes and the CSUN Sports Network are an expansion of CSUN’s current MatadorTV program, which is a leader in the Big West Conference for video production, and they will also encompass future content multimedia platforms for the CSUN Athletic Department. A video showcasing the CSUN Athletic Department’s previous video content is available at www.gomatadors.com/CSUNSportsNetwork <http://www.gomatadors.com/CSUNSportsNetwork> .
 
“We’re excited to add CSUN Deportes to our CSUN Sports Network multimedia platform this fall,” said Dr. Brandon Martin, Director of Intercollegiate Athletics. “We’re proud to set the bar in the Big West for many things, including video content, and we know how important it is for us to connect with our Spanish-speaking fans. CSUN Deportes will let us connect with this community in their language and further enhance CSUN’s reputation and visibility on and off campus.”
 
In addition to Spanish-language content on CSUN Deportes, the new CSUN Sports Network will shoot and produce weekly update videos for in-season sports, produce a weekly Coach’s Show featuring coaches and special guests, create video highlight packages of all Matadome games and produce special feature videos covering athletics special events and CSUN personalities. It will also host a “Mataclassics” classic game library and host archived audio content from Matador Sports Network radio broadcasts. The CSUN Sports Network will also continue to produce live broadcasts of men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball games for BigWest.TV and create an interactive in-arena experience for fans through the video displays in The Matadome.
 
“We have so many great stories to tell through CSUN Deportes, both on and off the field, and and it’s amazing to be able to share them in a way that no one else in the conference does,” said Jorge Martin, Director of Communications for CSUN. “What I love most is that the new CSUN Deportes videos will be produced by CTVA students. Everyone will be able to see the talent we have at CSUN, both behind the camera ando on the field.”
 
The Matadors will collaborate with CSUN’s Department of Cinema and Television Arts (CTVA) to create and staff the CSUN Sports Network, giving CTVA student interns hands-on experience in sports production and expanding the breadth of opportunities available to CSUN students interested in television and multimedia production.
