Sports Radio Network to Webcast 2003 NWBL Pro-Cup Tournament

Internet-based Station will present live coverage of complete tournament

Sports Radio Network (WSRN), the official broadcast partner of The National Women's Basketball League (NWBL), will be presenting live and exclusive audio game coverage of the 2003 National Pro Cup tournament, emanating from American International College, in Springfield, Massachusetts.

The internet-based station will webcast the entire tournament, beginning with quarterfinal action on April 11th, the semifinals on April 12th, and the consolation and championship games on April 13th. In total Sports Radio Network will webcast seven games. Games will be played Friday, April 11th at 6pm and 8pm, Saturday, April 12th at 3pm, 5pm and 7 pm and Sunday, April 13th at 2pm and 4pm. Each game will be preceded by a 30-minute pre-game show.

The webcasts will be presented live and exclusively on the internet, and can be accessed from Sports Radio Network's official website at http://www.sportsradionet.com. Archived games will also be available on demand following the completion of the tournament.

"This tournament will feature some of the best women's basketball players from around the world," said play-by-play announcer and Sports Radio Network's CEO Rob Goldenberg. "It will be a great way for us to culminate our coverage of the NWBL this season."
Sports Radio Network's partnership with the NWBL began in 2002. With its exclusive live presentation of the 2002 league draft and the spring's NWBL Pro Cup Tournament, Sports Radio Network reached a nationwide audience of fans, validating the rapidly growing appeal of women's professional sports.

This year, Sports Radio Network was once again home to the 2003 NWBL Draft and the station also expanded its coverage to feature regular season games.

"Having live coverage of the tournament is important for the league to continue its growth," said NWBL Executive Officer Patrick Alexander. "Taking advantage of new technologies like internet broadcasting on Sports Radio Network is a testament to the kinds of things that we are going to be doing to promote ourselves."

Sports Radio Network, a full service broadcasting outlet for amateur and professional sports, has already gained recognition as a leader in web-based sports programming.

With Goldenberg handling play-by-play duties and Alon Avital providing color commentary, WSRN burst on to the scene with its live and exclusive coverage of the United States Basketball League's (USBL) Long Island Surf franchise in the spring of 2001. Following its presentation of 13 regular season games, the station carried the summer's USBL post-season tournament.

Once again in 2002, WSRN was the exclusive home to the USBL Post-Season Festival, with fans in more than 15 countries; including Canada, Israel, Australia, France, Great Britain, Switzerland and Belgium listening to the webcasts. Not only did Sports Radio Network provide audio coverage of the post-season festival via the internet, but the voices of Goldenberg and Avital were used by Pegasys Video of Enid, Oklahoma for their highly-heralded television broadcasts.

This past season, Sports Radio Network continued to break new ground formulating a partnership that merged the technology of the internet with that of television.

As part of its exclusive coverage of the 2003 New York Collegiate Athletic Conference's women's and men's basketball championship games, the internet based station presented live audio coverage via the internet, and then distributed the game throughout the tri-state area as a tape-delayed television presentation.

"I feel that there is a legitimate niche that we can fill. By utilizing the technology the internet offers teams can take advantage of a practically limitless audience," said Goldenberg.
