Sports Net New York - Sports Coverage

Sports Coverage

• Mets: SNY carries at least 120 Mets games per season (with the remainder airing on WPIX, FOX, TBS, or ESPN). Gregg Picker produces the games and Bill Webb, who directs the World Series and the All-Star Game for FOX, is the director for Mets broadcasts on both SNY and WPIX.

• Jets: The New York Jets signed a three-year television deal with SportsNet New York in November 2005, in which SNY carries more than 250 hours of Jets-related content each year. The programming includes both in-season and off-season shows with access to players, coaches and management.

• Big East: In July 2008, the Big East and SNY announced a multi-year deal which gives the channel 16 games of Big East college football and more than 100 games of men's and women's college basketball per season. SNY also produces pre-game, halftime, and post-game shows, as well as coach interviews, for these broadcasts. Additionally, SNY became "the exclusive home" of Rutgers University athletics, which includes encore football game broadcasts (for games televised by ABC or one of ESPN's various channels), weekly coaches shows (for both football and basketball, see Inside Rutgers Football), and press conferences. Similar coaches shows also air for the Seton Hall University and St. John's University basketball teams, and shows from other schools may also be carried.

• UConn Huskies: In August 2010, the University of Connecticut and SNY announced a multi-year deal to make SNY "the official television home of the UConn Huskies football and men's basketball programs". SNY will feature 300 hours of UConn Huskies programming annually, including 120 hours of game coverage. In May 2012, SNY signed a four-year deal with the UConn Huskies women's basketball team, agreeing to air a minimum of 17 games per year.

SNY originally carried Big Ten Conference games not on national TV, but the Big Ten's own network now airs those games. SNY also showed the Sun Belt Conference through ESPN Plus, but no longer does so in order to focus on the Big East Conference.
