LEXINGTON, Ky. – For the second year in a row, the SEC Network is turning over its control room to the 14 Southeastern Conference schools as a part of its two-week SEC Takeover. UK Athletics’ day of 24-hour programming will take place Wednesday, July 20.
Starting at midnight on July 20, the SEC Network will feature classic games from UK’s men’s basketball, football and women’s basketball programs, a special with former Kentucky football star and current NFL linebacker Wesley Woodyard, Big Blue Review – a comprehensive look at all 22 sports at UK – and more.
SEC schools are heavily involved in producing the more than 1,000 SEC Network Plus events streamed annually on WatchESPN, SECNetwork.com and the ESPN app. Every campus has at least one control room, fibered sports facilities and a bureau cam room. This year, more than 350 students gained national television experience contributing to those on-campus productions.
