SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. – A total of 19 events between men’s & women’s soccer and volleyball highlight the Pirate Sports Network (PSN) fall 2015 broadcasting schedule, Seton Hall Athletics announced Monday.

In its fourth season, the Pirate Sports Network is a subscription based service providing a high definition broadcast of live Seton Hall Athletics events on SHUPirates.com, the school’s official athletics website.

The 2015-16 year of home matches begins with a huge slate, and the Pirate Sports Network will carry all three contests on Friday, Sept. 4 with a special tripleheader. At 4 p.m., women’s soccer will face off with Duquesne before the men’s soccer team takes on Rider.

While action will still be going on at Owen T. Carroll Field, the PSN will also broadcast the volleyball team’s home opener against former BIG EAST foe Notre Dame at 7 p.m. The jam-packed opening weekend on the PSN continues on Saturday, Sept. 5 when volleyball welcomes in Hofstra and Temple to complete play in the Seton Hall Classic.

As a special incentive for Pirates fans, the Pirate Sports Network will be offering a “Hall Pass,” which will give everyone all five opening weekend games for FREE.

Other highlighted games include a primetime coaching battle between Seton Hall alums Gerson Echeverry and Delaware head coach Ian Hennessy when men’s soccer hosts the Blue Hens on Wednesday, Sept. 9. The PSN will also cover men’s soccer’s BIG EAST opener when the Pirates host nationally ranked Creighton on Sat., Sept. 26 at 1 p.m.

The PSN will stream all but one home volleyball match, with coverage of BIG EAST play starting Friday, Oct. 2 when the Pirates play host to DePaul. A Halloween showdown at Historic Walsh Gymnasium with reigning conference champion Creighton also highlights the PSN slate.

Home events not produced by the PSN this fall will be available on the BIG EAST Digital Network through FOX Sports GO. Click here for the full Seton Hall on BEDN fall schedule.

Providing a high definition broadcast service to Pirates fans, the PSN is powered by a Tricaster 855 Extreme, which allows viewers to see multiple camera angles and enhanced graphics. PSN broadcasting personalities Jon Schaeffer, David Gass, and John Fanta are back calling the action, and fans will be introduced to new broadcasters throughout the year. Go to SHUPirates.com/AllAccess for all game broadcast info, interviews, and exclusive features on The Hall.

A one-year subscription to receive all content on the PSN is a flat rate of $99.95, and a monthly subscription costs $9.95. In addition to fall sports, the PSN will broadcast live home events involving women’s basketball, swimming & diving, baseball and softball and will offer a live radio broadcast of men’s basketball games.

Those who have had PSN how is it? Is it worth the money?

Those who have had PSN how is it? Is it worth the money?

PSN has been unwatchable. The directors have been clueless. They switch shots in the middle of a jump shot, creating a jarring viewing experience.

They switch shots from one side of the court to the other during live action. That's a joke. It's a complete lack of understanding of live broadcasting 101. Simply from watching sports you should know that you don't do that.

The camera operator will keep the shot on an empty part of the court while the live action is elsewhere.

During timeouts they whip the camera up to the scoreboard and keep it there instead of, for example, showing the team huddles.

Twice last season, that I know of, they missed a game winning shot.

I have to believe that the director and/or camera operators are literally falling asleep during live broadcasts. I know that I've seen a camera operator texting during a game.

I stopped watching last year. I checked highlights to see if they had made corrections, but it was the same.

And I won't even go into soccer and baseball broadcasts.

BTW, before anybody says that students should not be judged harshly: I've watched broadcasts from many other schools. Many look very professionals and NONE violate the broadcasting fundamentals like PSN. They've been doing this for years and, other than actually staying on the air, they have not improved.

BTW, adjust the damn iris. Everything looks too dark inside Walsh.
