Notre Dame football already has its own television network, with NBC the broadcast partner of the Fighting Irish since 1991. Now Notre Dame is taking its game to premium cable, joining with Showtime for a season-long television series.
News is just breaking, but it appears that Showtime will televise “A Season with Notre Dame Football,” chronicling a full season of the Irish through a documentary series. In the tradition of the popular Hard Knocks series on HBO, we’ll likely get a behind-the-scenes look at Brian Kelly’s 2015 team, as they hope to achieve greatness.
In discussions today at the annual Television Critics Association meetings, Showtime president David Nevins talked about the unprecedented access Showtime cameras will have.
