Toledo, Ohio – The University of Toledo Department of Communication, in cooperation with the UT Department of Intercollegiate Athletics, will mark its 100th ESPN3 production this Saturday, April 29. The landmark broadcast will be the Rocket softball team's game vs. Western Michigan on Saturday .
UT first began producing games for ESPN in October of 2015 as part of an agreement between the Mid-American Conference and The Worldwide Leader in Sports. Unlike many of the other member schools in the MAC, however, UT was able to build upon the longstanding relationship between its Athletic Department and the media production component of the Department of Communication to create an academic-driven means of producing game broadcasts.
