The Siena athletic department and Time Warner Cable have announced that Saints Alive!, the half hour telecast centering on Siena athletics, will expand this season to air throughout the academic season beginning this week. The show will air monthly until December, when there will be two shows, and then move to a weekly format after the first of the year throughout the conclusion of the basketball season. In the spring, there will be one show in April and May.
"The expanded Saints Alive! schedule allows us to feature all of our 18 Division I sports," director of athletics John D'Argenio said. "We will introduce viewers to some of our great department achievements and standout student-athletes. Our intent is to raise awareness of our student-athlete achievements across the board. There are many great stories we will be able to bring to life this year."
The initial Saints Alive! show airs five times this week, beginning with its debut Tuesday, September 27 at 9:30 p.m. Other airtimes include: Wednesday, September 28 (7:30 p.m.), Friday, September 30 (6 p.m.), Saturday, October 1 (11 a.m. and 7:30 p.m.), and Sunday, October 2 (9:30 p.m.).
