LEWISBURG, Pa. - Bison Vision, the video aspect of the newly redesigned BucknellBison.com, will carry live video of a number of Bucknell athletic events throughout the fall, it was announced on Friday. The first game to be broadcast will be the Sept. 6 home football opener against Duquesne. No fewer than 18 contests dot the ambitious fall schedule.

Field hockey, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, volleyball, men’s water polo and wrestling will have live video of two events broadcast during the fall semester, while all six home football games will be featured. Doug Birdsong, Bucknell's coordinator of radio, television, marketing and promotions, as well as the lead play-by-play voice of the Bison Sports Network, will serve as the play-by-play voice for all broadcasts. He will be joined by select guest analysts throughout the fall season.

While much of the content offered through Bison Vision is free, live events will require a subscription. Subscriptions are available for $79.95 per year or $9.95 per month. For a limited time, a 20% discount is being offered on the annual subscription.
