Programming

History

The LSU Athletic Department and LSU Sports Properties produces in-house weekly television and radio coaches shows.[13] Sports covered are baseball, men's basketball, women's basketball, football, gymnastics and softball. Starting during 1999–2000 season, all coaches shows have been streamed live and made available on-demand on LSUsports.net. LSU was among the first universities to offer such a subscription-based service to its fans through what is now called the "Geaux Zone".[13] Internet-only shows such as "The Dot TV Show" and "Tiger Talk" have also been offered as a supplement to the 30-minute coaches TV shows. In 2016, LSU began free streaming on-demand live game broadcasts and live video of certain non-game action like coaches’ television shows, news conferences and special presentations on LSUsports.net.[14][15]
