NEW YORK — In August 2014, the Big East launched the Big East Digital Network with 90 events for the conference’s first foray into live streaming — a way to connect with fans through a new medium. Since then, the Big East has more than doubled the amount of annual games it produces with its partners on the free network, which is available through the FOX Sports GO app.
In a recent conversation with Chief Marketing Officer Ann Wells Crandall and Rick Gentile, Sr. Associate Commissioner for Broadcasting, they highlighted that while no men’s basketball games are broadcast on BEDN because of FOX’s exclusive rights, every conference women’s basketball matchup is televised on the digital property, among other sports like softball, field hockey, soccer and baseball.
