From beat reporter Matty Vautour with the Daily Hampshire Gazzette.

Quote:UMass is close to announcing a TV package for the 2017 football season and will have a different lineup in the radio booth.

Multiple sources with knowledge of the situation said that the athletic department has nearly completed a deal with Eleven Sports to carry the team’s six home games (including the Nov. 11 game against Maine at Fenway Park).

Eleven Sports Network, which will pay for all production costs, is the American arm of a British company that had begun adding more American sports entities. It carries Big Sky and Ivy League football games as well. It’s available on DirecTV and FiOS. While Eleven isn’t available on any New England cable carriers, NESN or NESNplus will pick up the Eleven feed for all the games.

Streaming video online will be available through UMass’ website.
