CSTV, acknowledging an significant public demand, will now air Friday’s first ECACHL semifinal between Cornell and Vermont on the same day, albeit still tape delayed.
Originally, CSTV, the only station available nationally to carry the ECAC semifinals, was only going to televise the first semifinal on tape delay Saturday morning at 11 a.m. But after receiving an influx of letters, CSTV will now also air the game on tape delay immediately following the first semifinal between Colgate and Harvard, which will air live at 7:30 p.m.
CSTV is contractually obligated to carry NCAA basketball studio programming during the afternoon when Game 1 is taking place, therefore they can not carry Game 1 live.
