Virginia State University’s football Trojans are gearing up for a national television audience when CBS College Sports (CSTV) comes to Rogers Stadium for the game between VSU and Virginia Union University on Thursday, October 15. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m.

Jason Knapp will be doing play-by-play for the game and Derrick Walker will be the analyst. VSU student Bianca Warren will serve as sideline reporter.

CBS College Sports Network is seen in more than 20 million homes via cable and satellite. CBS College Sports Network is available on cable systems across the country, including Verizon FiOS, Comcast, Time Warner, Cox, Cablevision, Charter, Insight, Bright House Networks, Mediacom, RCN, Advanced Cable, and Bresnan. It is also available on DirecTV's Total Choice Premier Package Channel 613, Dish Network's America's Top 120 Package Channel 152, and Sky Angel IPTV's Family Package Channel.

In late February 2009, CBS College Sports Network reached a new carriage deal with DirecTV, which allowed the satellite provider to move the channel from its add on “Sports Pack” to its base package “Choice Xtra.” The channel was moved to the lower level package on February 25, 2009. The new agreement gave the channel a distribution of 30 million viewers. Cox Cable in Orange County, CA and Arizona added the channel on August 1, 2009. Please call your local cable or satellite provider to see if it carries the network.
