Green Bay will launch a redesigned Web site – with a new domain name – next month, with the help of the school’s student-run television station.

The new site will be video-based, with the students producing a variety of timely programming, including coaches’ shows, weekly updates, features and more. The need to create a new site for the department coincides with the school’s April decision to eliminate all print media guides at the school, effective this fall.

The sports information office will shift its focus from printed materials to video.

"Our new Web site will offer fans, media and prospective student-athletes the most up-to-date information in the most user-friendly and high-tech ways," Athletics Director Ken Bothof said. "The elimination of media guides is a great cost-saving measure, is environmentally friendly and is the wave of the future in college athletics. We are proud to be on the cutting edge."

The elimination of printed media guides is expected to save the department about $20,000 a year.
