The Peach Belt Conference and its Internet broadcasting partner Penn Atlantic have announced that beginning with games played February 2, all league games can be viewed free of charge. Games had previously been available on a pay-per-view basis, but continued expansion at Penn Atlantic will allow all games to be viewed for free with revenues generated from advertising.

“This is a giant step forward for the Peach Belt Conference,” said Commissioner David Brunk. “From the beginning of our affiliation with Penn Atlantic, the goal has been to bring free broadcasts to fans of the conference.”

The Peach Belt and Penn Atlantic began broadcasting games in November 2007 with basketball games being available for $5.95 per broadcast. Over the past two seasons, more than 300 games have been carried live over the Internet, including basketball, baseball, volleyball, soccer and softball. Ten of the 11 Peach Belt schools currently carry all of their home games over the Penn Atlantic network.

“The product that Penn Atlantic produces is among the best available over the Internet,” said Brunk. “And it will only get better with the new enhancements and technology that we will be bringing online in the coming months. Fans will be able to see their favorite PBC teams like never before, having free broadcasts is just the beginning.”

All games of the upcoming Peach Belt basketball tournament in March from Aiken, South Carolina, will be free, as will every game of the league’s baseball tournament in May. Many Peach Belt schools will also carry select baseball and softball games this spring. See the complete schedule of games at www.Peachbeltsports.tv.
