ST. LOUIS, Mo. – The University of Northern Iowa football program will be featured twice during the 2014 season as part of the 2014 Missouri Valley Football Conference television package, it was announced today by the league office.
Approximately 50 league games will air on a myriad of television networks during the 2014 season. The Conference will produce seven league games – including five Homecoming games -- as part of its 2014 Game of the Week package, and approximately 50 additional games will air in conjunction with MVFC institutional packages.
The MVFC will work with two production companies, renewing partnerships from last season. Mediacom, which has partnerships with a number of Valley Football institutions, will produce and air six league games. Mediacom will distribute those games on its family of networks and simulcast four of the games on ESPN3. Kansas City-based Niles Media Group returns as a league partner and will produce one game for the conference -- and that contest will air on over-the-air stations and on ESPN3. Veteran broadcasters Scott Warmann and Danan Hughes will provide play-by-play and analyst duties for the 2014 package.
For the first time, the league will utilize instant replay during its game of the week broadcasts. An estimated 30 league contests will utilize instant replay this fall, which includes league-produced and select institutionally produced TV games. DVSport, Inc., will administer replay, in conjunction with MVFC officials.
In addition to being a part of the MVFC television package, all six of UNI's home games will air on the Panther Sports TV Network.
The UNI football team will kick off the 2014 season at the University of Iowa on Aug. 30.
