The leading media provider for the nation’s 107 Historically Black Colleges and Universities proudly announced a 10-year media rights partnership with the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC). The partnership grants HBCU GO cable, linear, streaming, broadcast, VOD and pay-per-view rights coverage of all SIAC team sports through 2032 worldwide. Those sports include regular season contests for football, men’s basketball, women’s basketball and Olympic sports. Previously, AMG and HBCU GO brokered similar 10-year deals with the SWAC (Southwestern Athletic Conference) and CIAA (Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association).
