The next weekend, September 8^th, DC50 will be airing a double-header featuring East Carolina at USC at noon;   followed by West Kentucky at Alabama (SEC’s defending college national champions) at 3:30pm.

“Broadcasting SEC football in the Washington DC market really fills a major void for college football fans who have been seeking ways to watch these games,” said Ashley Messina, Vice President and General Manager of DC50. “SEC is the premier conference in college football. We have SEC basketball in the winter, MASN/Nationals baseball in the spring and summer and now SEC football in the fall. We’re excited to continually be building our distinctive sports presence for local viewers.”
