Tallahassee, FL - Sunshine Network will produce and air taped coverage of all 12 Florida State University regular season football games this fall to its statewide audience of over 5.9 million cable and satellite homes. Additionally, Sunshine Network is debuting a new Saturday lineup of programming dedicated to covering the Seminoles before and after each game and all the college football action from around the Sunshine State.

All 12 games will be produced by Sunshine Network and air statewide during the network's PRIME TIME 'NOLES time block Sundays at 7 p.m. (ET), and will also replay Mondays at 12:30 p.m. Returning to call all the action this season for Sunshine will be play-by-play analyst Paul Kennedy alongside 2002 Emmy-award winner Keith Jones, who enters his 16th consecutive season in the booth, and is the longest tenured collegiate or professional announcer in the state. This is the fourth consecutive year Sunshine has produced every Seminoles game, bolstering the network's strong year-round coverage of FSU athletics, which rivals that of any other Division I university. FSU and Sunshine have been partnered since 1988.

New this fall, Sunshine will present a dynamic Saturday lineup focused on the day's college football action entitled TAILGATE SATURDAY. Coverage kicks off Saturday mornings at 9:30 a.m. with the hour-long live BUBBA BURGER COLLEGE KICKOFF. Hosts Frank Frangie, Terry Norvelle and Brady Ackerman preview all of Florida's major football programs and will provide gameday insight and analysis to each Florida State game. Immediately following the conclusion of all FSU games, THE SUNSHINE 5TH QUARTER takes over and provides fans with live on-site extended post-game coverage and analysis with Tom Block reporting from outside the FSU locker room. Finally, fans can re-cap all the day's action from around the state and the ACC with SATURDAY FOOTBALL WRAP airing at 10 p.m., a one-hour live show breaking down all the day's games from the Sunshine State.

In addition to its coverage of Florida State football games, Sunshine Network has a separate agreement with the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). Sunshine airs the ACC Game of the Week Saturdays at 12 Noon beginning October 4, plus "ACC Live," a weekly magazine show, airing Mondays at 6:30 p.m. beginning September 1.

Each edition of "The Bobby Bowden Show" will air statewide Sundays at 12:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. and Mondays at 4 p.m. Sunshine Network will also air the "Florida State Seminoles Preseason Special," premiering Monday, August 18, at 9 p.m. with six repeats scheduled throughout August. "Seminole Sports Magazine" airs Saturdays at 11 a.m. followed by "Seminole Uprising" at 11:30 a.m. beginning September 6. The "ACC Preseason Special" premieres Wednesday, August 27, at 6 p.m. with three repeats in August.
