The
Connecticut
Sun reached a multi-year agreement with MyTV9/WCTX, and will televise a minimum
of eight games during the 2008 season.
"We are very excited about the opportunity to work with
MyTV9,"
Connecticut
Sun general manager Chris Sienko said. "We are entering into a multi-year
deal, which gives us the opportunity to expand to more games in future seasons.
This is also an excellent way for the two companies to create a partnership
that will benefit all of
Connecticut,
as MyTV9 is a statewide broadcast television station."
"This partnership with Mohegan Sun and the Connecticut
Sun WNBA franchise is a tremendous opportunity for both our organizations to
bring
Connecticut's
only professional sport to a new level," said Jon Hitchcock, the Vice
President and General Manager of WTNH and WCTX. "This caliber of sports is
an excellent complement to our programming as we continue to brand MyTV9 as the
place for local sports."
