Watch Live Streaming Video Broadcasts from the 2010 ISC World Tournament
MIDLAND, MICHIGAN – The International Softball Congress (ISC) announced today that they will feature live broadcasts of selected games from the 2010 ISC World Tournament at Midland, Michigan.
The live video broadcast schedule kicks off with the two-time defending ISC World Champions, the Kitchener Rivershark Twins, on Saturday, August 14, 2010 at 4:00 PM eastern, a game offered free of charge to all viewers.
The ISC will offer an “All Access†pass, which will provide fans with online access to at least twenty-four (24) live video broadcasts, as well as access to archived broadcasts during the week for any games they might miss. The cost of the “ISC All Access†pass is $49.95, if purchased on or before August 9, 2010, or $59.95 if purchased thereafter. The “early-bird†purchase translates to just over $2 per game.
Fans will also be able to access individual games on a pay-per-view basis. Each game will be available live and on-demand at a rate of $6.95 per game to non-All-Access subscribers.
Additional games will be broadcast on live streaming audio at no charge.
The streaming media broadcast program for the International Softball Congress is now in its 10th year, headed up by Executive Producer Dave Blackburn. Dave brought streaming media to the ISC World Tournament and the fastball world back in 2001, with help from technical guru Greg Panos. Dave had this to say about the 2010 Live Streaming broadcast program:
“Our broadcast team is very excited about our plans for streaming many live games from the 2010 World Tournament. After four years of continuous improvement in producing our own online video telecasts, and offering those for free, in 2010 we are evolving to a Pay-Per-View online delivery model. This is the most viable way for the ISC to continue our efforts to provide this unique live and archival coverage to our global audience of fastball fans long into the future.”
The ISC World Tournament broadcast program operates a four camera set-up, with play-by-play announcers and color commentators. Assistant Streaming Producer Rosanne Allan will work with Dave Blackburn on production, and full-time cameramen Gerry and Mike Betz will be back for their sixth and fifth years respectively.
Broadcast program directors Blair Setford and Jim Flanagan will join play-by-play anchors Kyle Smith and Lance Winn in the booth, along with Joe Todd and other guest color commentators. Smith and Winn are both broadcast professionals. Winn works in Canadian sports TV while Smith works in the Toronto area, doing minor league baseball and hockey in addition to his fastball work, and serves as the lead broadcaster for Ballparkradio. Joe Todd has been broadcasting for the ISC since 2003.
In 2010, the ISC will break new ground, offering its first ever Spanish language audio broadcast, in collaboration with Cristian Lacout of Softbol Radio , based in Argentina. The remote-connected broadcast will be available to a world-wide audience, free of charge.
