SOUTHEASTERN CHANNEL TO AIR TAPE DELAYS OF LIONS FOOTBALL
      HAMMOND -- The re-broadcast of Southeastern Louisiana University's Aug. 30 home opener football game against Arkansas-Monticello will air on the Southeastern Channel, Charter Cable Channel 18, Tuesday, Sept. 2 at 7 p.m.
      The Southeastern Channel, the university's educational access channel, will also air the first episode of the Hal Mumme Show Wednesday, Sept. 3, at 7 p.m.
      "We're excited that local football fans will be able to watch the return of Lion football each week on the Southeastern Channel," said Rick Settoon, the channel's general manager.  "We'll have the full game broadcast and Coach Mumme's breakdown of each contest."
      According to Settoon, the Southeastern Channel is airing the games and coach's show on a delayed basis because of the university’s contract with Cox Sports Television, which produces and initially airs the programs. The contract calls for a normal four-day delay in re-airing the shows after the Cox broadcast with a two-day delay in the event of a live game broadcast.  Settoon said this week Tuesday night was chosen to avoid competing with Monday Night Football.
      After the Arkansas-Monticello game the first week, this season's games will be replayed at 7 pm. Thursdays and the Mumme show at 6:30 p.m., Fridays on the Southeastern Channel with the exception of the Oct. 4 McNeese State game, which will air the following Tuesday and Wednesday.
