YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — Building off the success of Eagle All-Access through spring 2011, the Eastern Michigan University Department of Athletics has continued the growth of the broadband channel with the announcement of the school's 2011-12 broadcast schedule Monday, Aug. 29. The productions are a combined effort between the EMU Athletic Media Relations Office, WEMU (89.1 FM) and SIDEARM Sports.

A total of 61 events are currently scheduled in 2011-12 with further dates still being finalized for broadcast on All-Access. During the 2010-11 campaign, EMU streamed 72 live events with other features appearing in the On-Demand Archive section.

The football team will have five of its six home games streamed via Eagle All-Access, beginning with the team's season opener versus the Howard University Bison Saturday, Sept. 3. Other action on the gridiron will include the Sept. 10 game versus Alabama State, the Oct. 1 tilt against Akron, the Oct. 22 showdown against Western Michigan and the home finale versus Buffalo, Nov. 12.

EMU's conference affair against Ball State, Nov. 5, will not be video streamed due to contractual issues with ESPN.

Veteran Detroit-area broadcaster Matt Shepard leads the football broadcast team for the 11th year. He will be joined by analyst Andrew Wellock and engineer Brian Robinson. Locally, the audio broadcast will again air on WEMU (89.1 FM) in Ypsilanti.

Chad Bush returns as the primary voice of the Eagles on the All-Access broadcasts. Greg Steiner and a cavalcade of special guests will provide color commentary for the remainder of the games.

Six of the Eagles' home volleyball matches will air this season beginning with the home opener against Oakland, Aug. 31. Other matches will be featured against Toledo, Oct. 7, Buffalo, Oct. 21, Northern Illinois, Oct. 28, and Western Michigan, Oct. 29, and Ball State, Nov. 3.

Additionally, Eagle All-Access will video stream every home men's and women's basketball game this winter. A total of 24 contests (13 women's; 11 men's) will grace the small screen with the complete release of broadcast dates to coincide with the release of the complete schedule in the coming days.

In the spring, All-Access shifts to audio-only in its coverage of EMU baseball and softball. Currently, a minimum of 15 contests are slated to be broadcast with exact dates to follow later this winter.
